Summary: The algorithm proposed an efficient low-light image enhancement by estimating gamma correction parameters through optimization, separating luminance and chrominance channels, normalizing the luminance channel with a logarithmic function, independently estimating optimal gamma parameters for dark and bright regions, and merging them for enhanced image. This approach demonstrates higher enhancement performance and speed improvement compared to state-of-the-art algorithms in both subjective and objective evaluations.

Summary: In this letter, a method is proposed to address the degradation issues of underwater captured images. It uses piecewise color correction and dual prior optimized contrast enhancement. The method corrects the color cast of each color channel and enhances the contrast and texture detail of underwater images by decomposing the base layer and detail layer in HSV color space. Experimental results show that the method outperforms eleven state-of-the-art methods and has good generalization capability for fog and low-light images.

Summary: In this paper, an efficient and fast low-light image enhancement method is proposed using an atmospheric scattering model based on an inverted low-light image. The transmission map is derived as a function of the average and maximum values of the original image, and a pixel-adaptive gamma value determination algorithm is used to prevent under- or over-enhancement. The proposed method is computationally simple and outperforms existing approaches in terms of enhancement efficiency.

Summary: The resistance versus temperature characteristics of superconducting films have been studied for decades and have recently gained increased attention due to the electromagnetic metamaterial strategy. A framework using artificial neural networks to approximate resistance-temperature curves was proposed, and a detailed comparison of the accuracy of different architectures was carried out. The study demonstrated that the mean-squared error between the approximated and physically measured curves is negligible, allowing for the extrapolation of these curves over a wide range of parameters using the proposed framework.
