N2 - We propose a novel noisy low-light image enhancement algorithm via structure-texture-noise (STN) decomposition. We split an input image into structure, texture, and noise components, and enhance the structure and texture components separately. Specifically, we first enhance the contrast of the structure image, by extending a 2D histogram-based image enhancement scheme based on the characteristics of low-light images. Then, we reconstruct the texture image by retrieving texture components from the noise image, and enhance it by exploiting the perceptual response of the human visual system. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed STN algorithm sharpens the texture and enhances the contrast more effectively than conventional algorithms, while removing noise without artifacts.
