Nighttime photography encounters escalating challenges in extremely low-light conditions, primarily attributable to the ultra-low signal-to-noise ratio. For real-world deployment, a practical solution must not only produce visually appealing results but also require minimal computation. However, most existing methods are either focused on improving restoration performance or employ lightweight models at the cost of quality. This paper proposes a lightweight network that outperforms existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in low-light enhancement tasks while minimizing computation. The proposed network incorporates Siamese Self-Attention Block (SSAB) and Skip-Channel Attention (SCA) modules, which enhance the model's capacity to aggregate global information and are well-suited for high-resolution images. Additionally, based on our analysis of the low-light image restoration process, we propose a Two-Stage Framework that achieves superior results. Our model can restore a UHD 4K resolution image with minimal computation while keeping SOTA restoration quality.

Existing learning-based hyperspectral reconstruction methods show limitations in fully exploiting the information among the hyperspectral bands. As such, we propose to investigate the chromatic inter-dependencies in their respective hyperspectral embedding space. These embedded features can be fully exploited by querying the inter-channel correlations in a combinatorial manner, with the unique and complementary information efficiently fused into the final prediction. We found such independent modeling and combinatorial excavation mechanisms are extremely beneficial to uncover marginal spectral features, especially in the long wavelength bands. In addition, we have proposed a spatio-spectral attention block and a spectrum-fusion attention module, which greatly facilitates the excavation and fusion of information at both semantically long-range levels and fine-grained pixel levels across all dimensions. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments show that our method (dubbed CESST) achieves SOTA performance. Code for this project is at: https://github.com/AlexYangxx/CESST.

The process of steelmaking has been the same for thousands of years, using the traditional, coal-fired blast furnace. But SSAB is bringing steelmaking into a sustainable future. Using electricity, hydrogen and new digital tools, the highly specialized global steel manufacturer plans to produce fossil-free steel products in 2026. By 2045, SSAB's vision is to create a complete, fossil-free value chain from customers to end-users. To achieve this goal, almost all SSAB's processes need to have a digital component – and many of the decisions made in daily production need to be driven by analytics.
