Low-Light Image-Enhancement Algorithm Based on Homomorphic Frequency Division Aggregation
A weak-light environment leads to low contrast, dark brightness, missing details, and other problems with pictures captured by image acquisition equipment. Therefore, a low illumination image-enhancement algorithm based on homomorphic frequency division aggregation is proposed. First, the transfer function of homomorphic filtering is improved, the original image is decomposed into high- and low-frequency components, and some dark-area details are enhanced without the loss of bright-area details. The improved homomorphic-filtering transfer function has fewer parameters than the original and is easy to adjust. Next, the two components are enhanced. That is, the detail enhancement network is designed to improve the detailed information of the high-frequency part, and the low-light image enhancement via illumination map estimation (LIME) algorithm is used to enhance the brightness of the low-frequency part. Finally, a local adaptive network is designed to jointly fine-tune the high- and low-frequency components of the image to correct the distortion during fusion. The experimental results from the subjective vision and objective evaluation indicators show that the proposed algorithm can effectively balance the enhancement effect of smooth regions and texture components of the image and improve the image visual quality.
