Challenging illumination conditions (low-light, under-exposure and
over-exposure) in the real world not only cast an unpleasant visual appearance
but also taint the computer vision tasks. After camera captures the raw-RGB
data, it renders standard sRGB images with image signal processor (ISP). By
decomposing ISP pipeline into local and global image components, we propose a
lightweight fast Illumination Adaptive Transformer (IAT) to restore the normal
lit sRGB image from either low-light or under/over-exposure conditions.
Specifically, IAT uses attention queries to represent and adjust the
ISP-related parameters such as colour correction, gamma correction. With only
~90k parameters and ~0.004s processing speed, our IAT consistently achieves
superior performance over SOTA on the current benchmark low-light enhancement
and exposure correction datasets. Competitive experimental performance also
demonstrates that our IAT significantly enhances object detection and semantic
segmentation tasks under various light conditions. Training code and pretrained
model is available at
