This is an implementation of the ACM'MM2023 APSF paper.

Enhancing Visibility in Nighttime Haze Images Using Guided APSF and Gradient Adaptive Convolution
ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACMMM2023)
Yeying Jin*, Beibei Lin*, Wending Yan, Yuan Yuan, Wei Ye, and Robby T. Tan

1. RealNightHaze We provide 440 night hazy images.
2. Internet_night_clean1 We provide 411 night clean images.
3. Internet_night_clean2 We provide 50 clean night images, serve as reference images for glow removal.

4. GTA5 nighttime fog

1. Set the dataset path to RealNightHaze|Internet_night_fog,
2. Download the checkpoint dehaze.pt, put in results/dehaze/model,
3. Run the Python code,

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_test.py --dataset dehaze --datasetpath /diskc/yeying/night_dehaze/dataset/Internet_night_fog/

4. Results are in results/dehaze/output
   Results for RealNightHaze|Internet_night_fog.

1. Set Line18 --have_gt to True, set the dataset path to GTA5 or NHR or NHM or NHC,
2. Download the checkpoint GTA5.pt, put in results/GTA5/model, Similarly, for NHR.pt, NHM.pt, NHC.pt,
3. Run the Python code,

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_test.py --dataset NHM --datasetpath /diskc/yeying/night_dehaze/dataset/middlebury/testA/ 
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_test.py --dataset NHC --datasetpath /diskc/yeying/night_dehaze/dataset/Cityscape/testA/ 
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_test.py --dataset NHR --datasetpath /diskc/yeying/night_dehaze/dataset/NHR/testA/ 
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_test.py --dataset GTA5 --datasetpath /diskc/yeying/night_dehaze/GTA5/testA/

4. Results on the Synthetic Benchmark.

Run the Matlab code to obtain the clean and glow pairs:

APSF_GLOW_RENDER_CODE/synthetic_glow_pairs.m

Change the data path nighttime_dehaze/paired_data/clean_data/,
the paired clean and glow results are saved in nighttime_dehaze/paired_data/clean/ and nighttime_dehaze/paired_data/glow/,
the visualization of light source maps are in nighttime_dehaze/paired_data/glow_render_visual/light_source/.

Run the Matlab code to visualize the Fig.3 in the main paper:

APSF_GLOW_RENDER_CODE/synthetic_glow_fig3_visualization.m

APSF and Alpha Matting are the implementations of the papers:

• CVPR03 Shedding Light on the Weather [Paper]
• CVPR06 A Closed-Form Solution to Natural Image Matting [Paper]

We provide the visualization results in 0_ACMMM23_RESULTS/NHR/index.html, inside the directory 0_ACMMM23_RESULTS/NHR/img_0/ are hazy inputs, 0_ACMMM23_RESULTS/NHR/img_1/ are ground truths, 0_ACMMM23_RESULTS/NHR/img_2/ are our results.

For results corresponding to GTA5, NHM or NHC, please refer to the respective directories.

Set the dataset_name GTA5 or NHR or NHM or NHC, and run the Python code:

python calculate_psnr_ssim_NH_GTA5.py
