contents Contrast enhancement, a key aspect of image-to-image translation (I2IT), improves visual quality by adjusting intensity differences between pixels. However, many existing methods struggle to preserve fine-grained details, often leading to the loss of low-level features. This paper introduces LapLoss, a novel approach designed for I2IT contrast enhancement, based on the Laplacian pyramid-centric networks, forming the core of our proposed methodology. The proposed approach employs a multiple discriminator architecture, each operating at a different resolution to capture high-level features, in addition to maintaining low-level details and textures under mixed lighting conditions. The proposed methodology computes the loss at multiple scales, balancing reconstruction accuracy and perceptual quality to enhance overall image generation. The distinct blend of the loss calculation at each level of the pyramid, combined with the architecture of the Laplacian pyramid enables LapLoss to exceed contemporary contrast enhancement techniques. This framework achieves state-of-the-art results, consistently performing well across different lighting conditions in the SICE dataset.
