Beyond Pixel Fidelity: Minimizing Perceptual Distortion and Color Bias in Night Photography Rendering
Night Photography Rendering (NPR) poses a significant challenge due to the extreme contrast between dark and illuminated areas in scenes, stemming from concurrent capture of severely dark regions alongside intense point light sources. Existing methods, which are mainly tailored for fidelity metrics, reveal considerable perceptual gaps and often detract from visual quality. We introduce pHVI-ISPNet, a novel RAW-to-RGB framework built on the robust HVI color space. Our network integrates four distinct key refinements: RAW-domain feature processing and Wavelet-based feature propagation to mitigate high-frequency detail loss; sample-based dynamic loss coefficients to ensure stable learning across varying exposure levels; and loss term based on feature distributions to maintain rigorous color constancy. Evaluations on the dataset introduced in the NTIRE 2025 challenge on NPR confirm our approach achieves competitive fidelity while establishing new state-of-the-art results in both CIE2000 color difference and LPIPS. This validates our perceptually-driven design for high-quality nighttime imaging.

Augmenting Perceptual Super-Resolution via Image Quality Predictors
Super-resolution (SR), a classical inverse problem in computer vision, is inherently ill-posed, inducing a distribution of plausible solutions for every input. However, the desired result is not simply the expectatio…
Image Quality AssessmentNR-IQASuper-ResolutionExploiting Semantic and Pixel Representations for Ultra-Low Bitrate Image Compression
Most existing extreme compression methods fail to achieve an optimal rate-distortion-perception trade-off, as they typically prioritize perceptual fidelity and visual realism over pixel-level accuracy. Consequently, the …
Image CompressionWasserstein Distortion: Unifying Fidelity and Realism
We introduce a distortion measure for images, Wasserstein distortion, that simultaneously generalizes pixel-level fidelity on the one hand and realism or perceptual quality on the other. We show how Wasserstein distortio…

The Perception-Distortion tradeoff (PD-tradeoff) theory suggests that face restoration algorithms must balance perceptual quality and fidelity. To achieve minimal distortion while maintaining perfect perceptual quality, …
