DINOLight: Robust Ambient Light Normalization with Self-supervised Visual Prior Integration

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.12579v1 Announce Type: new This paper presents a new ambient light normalization framework, DINOLight, that integrates the self-supervised model DINOv2's image understanding capability into the restoration process as a visual prior. Ambient light normalization aims to re images degraded by non-uniform shadows and lighting caused by multiple light sources and complex scene geometries. We observe that DINOv2 can reliably extract both semantic and geometric information from a degraded image.
