A University of Manchester student has developed a new ultra-lightweight tool, Multinex, that can turn dark, noisy footage into clear, detailed and usable images.

How this affects you

This advancement has significant implications for photography, security, and computational imaging by improving the recovery of detail from previously unusable low-light images using a more efficient model suitable for real-time AI in safety-critical systems. It addresses the central research challenge of enhancing images effectively while dramatically reducing model size.
