Low-light image enhancement is an important task in computer vision. Deep learning-based low-light image enhancement has made significant progress. But the current methods also face the challenge of relying on a wide variety of low-light/normal-light paired images and amplifying noise while enhancing brightness. Based on existing experimental observation that most luminance information concentrates on amplitudes while noise is closely related to phases, an unsupervised low-light image enhancement method in the Fourier transform domain is proposed. In our method, the low-light image is firstly transformed into the amplitude component and phase component via Fourier transform. The luminance of low-light image is enhanced by CycleGAN in the amplitude domain, and the phase component is denoising. The cycle consistency losses both in the Fourier transform domain and spatial domain are used in training. The proposed method has been validated on publicly available test sets and shows that our method achieves superior results than other approaches in low-light image enhancement and noise suppression.
