Underwater image enhancement method based on red dark channel prior constraint and diffusion model

PendingCN122335596AColor shiftDiffusion network
This invention discloses an underwater image enhancement method based on a diffusion model with red-dark channel prior constraints. The method includes inputting a single-frame underwater raw image into the model and passing it through a joint estimation module of red-dark channel prior and quadtree, outputting transmittance and background light. These are then encoded by a physical condition encoder to generate a physical condition vector containing spatial attenuation priors and global background light constraints. This vector is used by the diffusion network for encoding and utilizes transmittance distribution and global background light information. In the reverse denoising process, a physical consistency layer and the Jaffe-McGlamery equation are combined to construct a physical consistency residual. The residual gradient calculated based on the physical model is injected as a guiding term into the noise prediction process. The enhanced image is iteratively generated through a denoising diffusion implicit model sampling process. The enhanced image is then forward-degraded and re-rendered through a cyclic consistency reconstruction branch. The cyclic consistency loss is calculated and used for reverse optimization of network parameters. This invention can reduce the color shift problems caused by background light misjudgment and transmittance overestimation.
