Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to medical imaging, and more specifically to enhancing medical images (e.g., images taken in low-light conditions) using machine-learning techniques. An exemplary method for obtaining an enhanced endoscopic image of a subject comprises receiving an endoscopic image of the subject; providing the endoscopic image to a generator of a trained generative adversarial network (GAN) model trained using a first set of non-endoscopic white light images associated with a first light level and a second set of non-endoscopic white light images associated with a second light level, the second light level higher than the first light level; and obtaining, from the generator, the enhanced endoscopic image.
