Evaluation of Low-light Image Enhancement performance across the test splits of the LIME, NPE, VV, and DICM datasets, measured using NIQE.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Low-light Image Enhancement |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | LIME, NPE, VV, DICM (test) |
| Metric | NIQE (Avg) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [NIQE (Avg)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/low-light-image-enhancement-on-lime-npe-vv-dicm-test.md?metric=NIQE%20(Avg)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
