RPBA-Net: An Interpretable Residual Pyramid Bilateral Affine Network for RAW-Domain ISP Enhancement

To address module fragmentation, uninterpretable mappings, and deployment constraints in RAW-domain demosaicing, color correction, and detail enhancement, this paper proposes RPBA-Net, an interpretable residual pyramid bilateral affine network for RAW-domain ISP enhancement. Given packed RAW as input, the method performs residual affine base reconstruction by estimating a base RGB representation and learning identity-guided residual affine corrections, thereby unifying demosaicing and enhancement. It further builds pyramid bilateral affine grids and combines guide-driven autoregressive adaptive slicing with adaptive cross-layer fusion to hierarchically model global tone restoration and local texture enhancement. In addition, smoothness, cross-scale consistency, and magnitude regularization terms are introduced to improve model stability, controllability, and structural interpretability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RPBA-Net surpasses representative RAW-to-sRGB methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance in reconstruction fidelity and perceptual quality, while maintaining low model complexity and strong deployment potential for mobile and embedded platforms.

UHD-GPGNet: UHD Video Denoising via Gaussian-Process-Guided Local Spatio-Temporal Modeling

Ultra-high-definition (UHD) video denoising requires simultaneously suppressing complex spatio-temporal degradations, preserving fine textures and chromatic stability, and maintaining efficient full-resolution 4K deployment. In this paper, we propose UHD-GPGNet, a Gaussian-process-guided local spatio-temporal denoising framework that addresses these requirements jointly. Rather than relying on implicit feature learning alone, the method estimates sparse GP posterior statistics over compact spatio-temporal descriptors to explicitly characterize local degradation response and uncertainty, which then guide adaptive temporal-detail fusion. A structure-color collaborative reconstruction head decouples luminance, chroma, and high-frequency correction, while a heteroscedastic objective and overlap-tiled inference further stabilize optimization and enable memory-bounded 4K deployment. Experiments on UVG and RealisVideo-4K show that UHD-GPGNet achieves competitive restoration fidelity with substantially fewer parameters than existing methods, enables real-time full-resolution 4K inference with significant speedup over the closest quality competitor, and maintains robust performance across a multi-level mixed-degradation schedule.A real-world study on phone-captured 4K video further confirms that the model, trained entirely on synthetic degradation, generalizes to unseen real sensor noise and improves downstream object detection under challenging conditions.

UHD Low-Light Image Enhancement via Real-Time Enhancement Methods with Clifford Information Fusion

Considering efficiency, ultra-high-definition (UHD) low-light image restoration is extremely challenging. Existing methods based on Transformer architectures or high-dimensional complex convolutional neural networks often suffer from the "memory wall" bottleneck, failing to achieve millisecond-level inference on edge devices. To address this issue, we propose a novel real-time UHD low-light enhancement network based on geometric feature fusion using Clifford algebra in 2D Euclidean space. First, we construct a four-layer feature pyramid with gradually increasing resolution, which decomposes input images into low-frequency and high-frequency structural components via a Gaussian blur kernel, and adopts a lightweight U-Net based on depthwise separable convolution for dual-branch feature extraction. Second, to resolve structural information loss and artifacts from traditional high-low frequency feature fusion, we introduce spatially aware Clifford algebra, which maps feature tensors to a multivector space (scalars, vectors, bivectors) and uses Clifford similarity to aggregate features while suppressing noise and preserving textures. In the reconstruction stage, the network outputs adaptive Gamma and Gain maps, which perform physically constrained non-linear brightness adjustment via Retinex theory. Integrated with FP16 mixed-precision computation and dynamic operator fusion, our method achieves millisecond-level inference for 4K/8K images on a single consumer-grade device, while outperforming state-of-the-art (SOTA) models on several restoration metrics.
