Low-light images challenge both human perceptions and computer vision algorithms. It is crucial to make algorithms robust to enlighten low-light images for computational photography and computer vision applications such as real-time detection and segmentation tasks. This paper proposes a semantic-guided zero-shot low-light enhancement network which is trained in the absence of paired images, unpaired datasets, and segmentation annotation. Firstly, we design an efficient enhancement factor extraction network using depthwise separable convolution. Secondly, we propose a recurrent image enhancement network for progressively enhancing the low-light image. Finally, we introduce an unsupervised semantic segmentation network for preserving the semantic information. Extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets and a low-light video demonstrate that our model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art qualitatively and quantitatively. We further discuss the benefits of the proposed method for low-light detection and segmentation.
