  The correction of exposure-related issues is a pivotal component in enhancing
the quality of images, offering substantial implications for various computer
vision tasks. Historically, most methodologies have predominantly utilized
spatial domain recovery, offering limited consideration to the potentialities
of the frequency domain. Additionally, there has been a lack of a unified
perspective towards low-light enhancement, exposure correction, and
multi-exposure fusion, complicating and impeding the optimization of image
processing. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes a novel
methodology that leverages the frequency domain to improve and unify the
handling of exposure correction tasks. Our method introduces Holistic Frequency
Attention and Dynamic Frequency Feed-Forward Network, which replace
conventional correlation computation in the spatial-domain. They form a
foundational building block that facilitates a U-shaped Holistic Dynamic
Frequency Transformer as a filter to extract global information and dynamically
select important frequency bands for image restoration. Complementing this, we
employ a Laplacian pyramid to decompose images into distinct frequency bands,
followed by multiple restorers, each tuned to recover specific frequency-band
information. The pyramid fusion allows a more detailed and nuanced image
restoration process. Ultimately, our structure unifies the three tasks of
low-light enhancement, exposure correction, and multi-exposure fusion, enabling
comprehensive treatment of all classical exposure errors. Benchmarking on
mainstream datasets for these tasks, our proposed method achieves
state-of-the-art results, paving the way for more sophisticated and unified
solutions in exposure correction.
