MirrorDistill: Illumination-Aware Latent Distillation for Efficient Low-Light Restoration

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is an im- portant component of visual sensing systems operating under degraded illumination, including nighttime surveillance, au- tonomous navigation, remote sensing, and inspection in poorly lit industrial environments. Most LLIE methods rely on output- level reconstruction losses that supervise only the final restored image, leaving the intermediate feature recovery process weakly constrained. This paper proposes MirrorDistill, an illumination- aware latent distillation framework that links the low-light and clean domains through feature mirroring. During
