Converting Night-Time Images to Day-Time Images through a Deep Learning Approach

Abstract

This paper examines the application of a deep learning approach to converting night-time images to day-time images. In particular, we show that a convolutional neural network enables the simulation of artificial and ambient light on images. In this paper, we illustrate the design of the deep neural network and some preliminary results on a real indoor environment and two virtual environments rendered with a 3D graphics engine. The experimental results are encouraging and confirm that a convolutional neural network is an interesting approach in the fields of photo-editing and digital image postprocessing.
