Improved self-calibration image enhancement algorithm based on attention mechanism and its application in maritime low-light images by Li SU, Shihao CUI

“…ObjectiveIn order to solve the problems of the insufficient brightness enhancement, low sharpness, and color distortion of existing maritime low-light image enhancement algorithms, this paper proposes an algorithm based on improved self-calibrated illumination (SCI) learning. MethodAn attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the unevenly illuminated regions in low-light images to different degrees; an illumination adjustment module is constructed to secondary the intermediate outputs of the illumination learning process; a denoising module is introduced to ameliorate the problem of noise in dark regions being amplified with the enhancement of the brightness; and batch normalization (BN) is changed to batch channel normalization (BCN), which utilizes channel and batch dimensions to adaptively combine the normalized outputs. …”
