lightingenhanced

Lightingenhanced is a broad term used to describe techniques and technologies that augment or optimize perceived lighting in visual content and environments through computation, hardware, or a combination of both. The concept covers image and video processing methods that adjust brightness, contrast, color balance, and light distribution to improve visibility, realism, or mood, as well as systems designed to enhance real-world lighting through sensor-driven feedback.

In imaging, lightingenhanced commonly refers to high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, exposure fusion, tone mapping, and gamma or color-corrected rendering, often aided by machine learning models that estimate scene illumination and re-light scenes computationally. Real-time implementations are used in smartphone cameras, video conferencing, and augmented reality to maintain consistent lighting across frames.

In architecture and product design, the term can describe lighting strategies that optimize distribution and intensity to improve energy efficiency and visual comfort, using sensors and adaptive controls to adjust artificial lighting in response to ambient conditions.

Challenges include balancing enhancement with natural appearance, avoiding artifacts, computational cost, and ensuring generalization across diverse scenes. The field intersects with image processing, computer vision, computer graphics, and human perception research.
