The invention discloses an
underwater image enhancement method based on a prior guide network. The
underwater image enhancement method comprises the following steps: S1, establishing a double-flow architecture
network model based on a Transform U-shaped
encoder-decoder network, a physical
perception prior
encoder and a multi-scale feature enhancement module; s2, taking an original
underwater image X and a prior image Xp enhanced based on physical
perception as inputs of a U-shaped network and a prior
encoder respectively, and performing iterative training on a double-flow architecture
network model; carrying out back propagation on network parameters by taking
loss function convergence stability as a training
cut-off condition, and obtaining an ideal double-current architecture model; and S3, collecting an actual underwater image, inputting the actual underwater image into the ideal double-flow architecture model, and automatically outputting an enhanced image Y. By using the double-flow architecture
network model of the method, the underwater
image enhancement effect can be improved, the image details and the local contrast can be enhanced, and more accurate and natural colors can be recovered.
