The invention discloses a low-illumination
underwater image enhancement method based on Zero-shot learning and improved white balance, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, inputting an image into a three-
branch full convolutional network, decomposing the image into a reflection image, an illumination image and a
noise image through the three-
branch full convolutional network, then constructing a
loss function composed of reconstruction loss, texture detail loss and
noise loss, carrying out iterative fusion on the reflection image by using the
loss function, carrying out
noise prediction and denoising by using a noise image in the
iteration process, and carrying out illumination
recovery and iterative convergence on the reflection image by using an illumination image to obtain a fused image; s2, carrying out secondary iterative calculation on the fused image through a gray world
algorithm; the image is processed through the three-
branch full convolutional network,
data set training is not needed, then white balance
processing is carried out on the processed image through the secondary gray world
algorithm and the perfect reflection
algorithm, the problems of color cast,
chromatic aberration and contrast of the image are reduced, and meanwhile the method has the
advantage of being high in
processing efficiency.
