• Title: Low-Light Enhancement in the Frequency Domain
• Authors: Hao Chen and Zhi Jin
• Abstract summary: Decreased visibility, intensive noise, and biased color are the common problems existing in low-light images. We propose a novel residual recurrent multi-wavelet convolutional neural network R2-MWCNN learned in the frequency domain. This end-to-end trainable network utilizes a multi-level discrete wavelet transform to divide input feature maps into distinct frequencies, resulting in a better denoise impact.

• Abstract: Decreased visibility, intensive noise, and biased color are the common problems existing in low-light images. These visual disturbances further reduce the performance of high-level vision tasks, such as object detection, and tracking. To address this issue, some image enhancement methods have been proposed to increase the image contrast. However, most of them are implemented only in the spatial domain, which can be severely influenced by noise signals while enhancing. Hence, in this work, we propose a novel residual recurrent multi-wavelet convolutional neural network R2-MWCNN learned in the frequency domain that can simultaneously increase the image contrast and reduce noise signals well. This end-to-end trainable network utilizes a multi-level discrete wavelet transform to divide input feature maps into distinct frequencies, resulting in a better denoise impact. A channel-wise loss function is proposed to correct the color distortion for more realistic results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed R2-MWCNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods quantitively and qualitatively.

  Underwater images often suffer from various issues such as low brightness, color shift, blurred details, and noise due to absorption light and scattering caused by water and suspended particles. Previous underwater image enhancement (UIE) methods have primarily focused on spatial domain enhancement, neglecting the frequency domain information inherent in the images.

  Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is a challenging task due to the complex degradation caused by underwater environments. Previous methods often idealize the degradation process, and neglect the impact of medium noise and object motion on the distribution of image features. Our approach utilizes predicted images to dynamically update pseudo-labels, adding a dynamic gradient to optimize the network's gradient space.
