MILL3D Benchmark Protocol

MILL3D is designed for controlled benchmarking across scenes and exposure levels.

Pairing Rule

For a given scene, images with the same image_name across different level_name folders are paired captures of the same viewpoint.

Reference Rule

For each low-light sample:

• input image: data/{scene_name}/{level_name}/images/{image_name}
• reference image: data/{scene_name}/GT/images/{image_name}

Intended Evaluation Use

• Evaluate reconstruction quality exposure-by-exposure
• Compare robustness across low-light severity levels
• Report metrics consistently across scenes and levels

Notes

This dataset is intended primarily for evaluation and benchmarking, rather than as a large-scale training corpus.
