# Sintel Low-light Noise ELD

A synthetic low-light optical flow dataset derived from MPI Sintel using the `ELD` low-light noise preset.

This dataset contains noisy RGB frames for both the `train` and `test` splits and is intended for:
- optical flow robustness evaluation in low-light conditions
- fine-tuning pretrained optical flow models
- controlled experiments on synthetic low-light degradation

## Contents

The dataset contains ELD-corrupted Sintel frames for:
- training
- test

This dataset includes only the noisy ELD data.

## What This Dataset Is For

This dataset is useful when you want to test or train optical flow models on darker, noisier Sintel-style inputs without changing the underlying scene
content.

Typical use cases:
- compare model performance on standard vs low-light inputs
- fine-tune a pretrained model for low-light robustness
- benchmark robustness under synthetic low-light degradation

## Noise Model

This dataset uses the `ELD` low-light noise model.

The ELD corruption includes:
- brightness reduction
- shot noise
- read noise
- quantization noise
- banding artifacts

Compared with more aggressive synthetic corruption models, ELD generally produces more stable and visually plausible low-light results.

## Why Sintel + ELD?

MPI Sintel is widely used for optical flow evaluation, but it does not natively include low-light variants.

Applying ELD-style degradation provides:
- a controlled robustness benchmark
- the same scene/layout content as Sintel
- a direct way to study low-light failure modes in optical flow

## Recommended Use

Best use:
- fine-tune a pretrained optical flow model
- evaluate robustness to low-light corruption
- compare against clean Sintel performance

Less recommended:
- treating this as real-world low-light ground truth
- relying on it as the only low-light training source

This dataset is synthetic and is best used for controlled experiments.

## Notes

- This dataset contains only the ELD noisy version.
- It is a synthetic low-light corruption dataset, not a real capture dataset.
- Transfer to real low-light video should be validated separately.

# Sintel低光噪声ELD数据集

本数据集是基于MPI Sintel数据集，采用`ELD`低光噪声预设生成的合成低光光流（optical flow）数据集。

本数据集包含训练（train）与测试（test）划分下的带噪声RGB帧，适用于以下场景：
- 低光环境下的光流鲁棒性评估
- 对预训练光流模型进行微调
- 针对合成低光退化开展受控实验

## 数据集内容

本数据集包含经过ELD噪声污染的Sintel帧，涵盖训练集与测试集，且仅包含ELD带噪声版本的数据。

## 数据集用途

当你需要在不改变原始场景内容的前提下，针对更暗、噪声更多的Sintel风格输入测试或训练光流模型时，本数据集将发挥作用。

典型应用场景：
- 对比模型在标准输入与低光输入下的性能表现
- 针对低光鲁棒性对预训练模型进行微调
- 在合成低光退化条件下开展鲁棒性基准测试

## 噪声模型

本数据集采用`ELD`低光噪声模型。

ELD噪声污染包含以下类型：
- 亮度衰减
- 散粒噪声
- 读出噪声
- 量化噪声
- 条带伪影

相较于更激进的合成噪声污染模型，ELD通常能生成更稳定、视觉效果更自然的低光结果。

## 为何选择Sintel与ELD组合？

MPI Sintel是光流评估领域广泛使用的数据集，但原生并未包含低光变体。

采用ELD风格的噪声退化可实现：
- 构建受控的鲁棒性基准测试
- 保留与Sintel一致的场景与布局内容
- 直接研究光流模型在低光场景下的失效模式

## 推荐使用方式

最优使用场景：
- 对预训练光流模型进行微调
- 评估模型对低光噪声污染的鲁棒性
- 与干净Sintel数据集的模型性能进行对比

不推荐的使用方式：
- 将本数据集视为真实世界低光场景的真值数据
- 将其作为唯一的低光训练数据源

本数据集为合成数据集，最适用于受控实验场景。

## 注意事项

- 本数据集仅包含ELD带噪声版本的数据
- 本数据集属于合成低光噪声污染数据集，并非真实采集的数据集
- 将其迁移至真实低光视频场景需单独开展验证工作
