Research on image enhancement algorithm of low illumination image based on half wave attention mechanism
In order to improve the low light image enhancement algorithm based on convolutional neural network(CycleGAN,Retinex-Net,etc.),which has the problems of excessive model parameters,high memory consumption and poor image recovery quality,we propose the low light image enhancement algorithm HBTNet incorporating the half-wave attention module based on the lightweight algorithm IAT.In order to improve the spatial information loss caused by frequent convolution of the network,the half-wave attention module is introduced into the network,which can ef-fectively obtain the characteristics of wavelet domain,enrich the contextual information and improve the feature extrac-tion ability.The quality of image recovery is improved by introducing MS-SSIM loss function used to preserve the edge and detail information of images.The experimental results show that HBTNet improves PSNR by 2.69%and SSIM by 5.56%compared with IAT algorithm on LOL dataset.the number of model parameters of HBTNet algorithm is only 0.11 M,which can meet the real-time requirements of end users.
