PQDynamicISP: Dynamically Controlled Image Signal Processor for Any Image Sensors Pursuing Perceptual Quality

원문 초록

Full DNN-based image signal processors (ISPs) have been actively studied and have achieved superior image quality compared to conventional ISPs. In contrast to this trend, we propose a lightweight ISP that consists of simple conventional ISP functions but achieves high image quality by increasing expressiveness. Specifically, instead of tuning the parameters of the ISP, we propose to control them dynamically for each environment and even locally. As a result, state-of-the-art accuracy is achieved on various datasets, including other tasks like tone mapping and image enhancement, even though ours is lighter than DNN-based ISPs. Additionally, our method can process different image sensors with a single ISP through dynamic control, whereas conventional methods require training for each sensor.
