    Abstract

    In this paper, we propose a novel approach for low-light image enhancement via distillation of NIR-to-RGB conversion network's knowledge. NIR images contain abundant detail information that is independent of lighting conditions. We leverage the knowledge of the NIR-to-RGB conversion network, which effectively preserves detail information from NIR while generating accurate colors, as it shares similarities with low-light image enhancement. By using the rich detail information provided by the NIR-to-RGB conversion for low-light image enhancement, we are able to reduce color distortion and noise while preserving detail information. Our experimental results show the superior performance of our proposed network.
