In order to solve the image blurring and distortion problem caused by underwater non-uniform and low illumination, this paper proposes an underwater image enhancement algorithm based on the Retinex theory and the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Firstly, the L component of the original image in the Lab space is extracted as the initial illumination map, and an Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) framework is constructed based on the ADMM to optimize the initial illumination map in order to obtain an accurate illumination image. In addition, the illumination map is further corrected in the luminance region with the Gamma Correction. Secondly, combined with the color constancy characteristics in the Retinex theory, the reflected image of the object is obtained. Finally, the bilateral filter is picked to suppress the underwater noise and obtain a more detailed enhanced image. The experimental results show that the underwater image enhancement algorithm can effectively solve the non-uniform illumination problem caused by natural light or artificial light source and improve the underwater image quality, thus having a better performance than other algorithms.
摘要
针对水下光照不均匀及光照较弱引起的成像模糊及失真问题,提出了一种基于Retinex和ADMM优化的水下图像增强方法。提取原始图像Lab空间的L分量作为初始光照图,并基于交替方向乘子法(ADMM)构造增广拉格朗日框架,对初始光照图进行优化获得精准的光照图像,并且通过伽马校正在亮度域对光照图进行进一步校正;结合Retinex理论中物体颜色恒常性的特性,求取物体的反射图像;利用双边滤波器抑制了水下噪声,获得更细致的增强图像。实验结果表明,所提的水下光照不均匀图像增强算法能有效解决因自然光或人工光源引起的光照不均匀及水下弱光照现象,提高了水下图像的质量,相较于其他算法,具有更好的性能。
