Abstract

Binocular cameras have gained increasing attention because they can capture high-resolution images at a lower cost than monocular cameras. However, many existing binocular camera technologies typically require accurate depth estimation. To address this problem, this paper presents a new image enhancement method based on monochromecolored cameras. Our method replaces depth estimation with dense matching of feature points, thereby effectively reducing the computational complexity. After image matching, matrix completion is used to recover the color information of the monochrome image. Consequently, our method produces a high-quality image under the low-light condition. We built real image database for the experiments, and the results reveal that our method exhibits superior performance over existing methods.
