In this paper, a novel enhancement algorithm for low-light images captured under low illumination conditions is proposed. More concretely, we design a method firstly to synthesize low-light images as training datasets. Then preclustering is conducted to separate training data into several groups by a coupled Gaussian mixture model. For each group, we adopt a coupled dictionary learning approach to train the low-light and normal-light dictionary pair jointly, and the statistical dependency of the sparsity coefficients is captured via Extreme Learning Machine simultaneously. Besides, we use a multi-phase dictionary learning strategy to enhance the robustness of our method. Experimental results show that proposed method is superior to existing methods.
