Abstract

Gaussian Process (GP) is a robust distribution modeling technique that is very promising for computer vision systems. In particular, its multivariate distribution modeling is especially effective for low-light image enhancement where localized enhancement is required to address the over- and under-enhancement problem, and also retrieval of features which has been lost due to low illumination. However, GP lacks practicality due to its computation complexity that increases cubically following data increment. This paper proposes a sparse GP regression based solution whereby clustering is exploited to reduce the training cost of a GP model. Instead of utilizing all values from an image, clustering groups similar training pixels or image patches pairs into clusters and the cluster centers are used to train an approximate GP enhancement model. Experiments conducted showed the proposed framework can achieve training time reduction of as much as 75% from the baseline. In line with this, the proposed approach also improved the enhancement performance in both PSNR and features retrieval metric, and is competitive with the current state-of-the-art.
