Abstract

The computer vision community has become increasingly interested in Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE), which tries to transform low-light photos into typically exposed images. The convolutional neural network has advanced quickly, and this has helped the deep learning-based LLIE approaches make a breakthrough in accuracy and visual effects. However, some challenges still remain, especially when dealing with noise from the black color blocks and halo near the boundary of the bright area. In this study, we provide a low-light picture enhancing technique based on the Unet3+ to overcome these problems. Specifically, we first transform DCE-Net in Zero-DCE to Unet3+, which enhances the network's fitting ability. Then, we introduce a denoising module and an SSIM loss, which can improve the qualitative and quantitative metrics of the network. Numerous tests support the effectiveness of our suggested approach, where the normal exposure images produced have a stable brightness and are suitable for a range of scenes.
