LOL (LOw-Light dataset)

Introduced by Chen Wei et al. in Deep Retinex Decomposition for Low-Light Enhancement1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The LOL dataset is composed of 500 low-light and normal-light image pairs and divided into 485 training pairs and 15 testing pairs. The low-light images contain noise produced during the photo capture process. Most of the images are indoor scenes. All the images have a resolution of 400×600.

30 shown of 34 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 257. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
