Abstract

This paper presents a low-light image enhancement method using the variational-optimization-based Retinex algorithm. The proposed enhancement method first estimates the initial illumination and uses its gamma corrected version to constrain the illumination component. Next, the variational-based minimization is iteratively performed to separate the reflectance and illumination components. The color assignment of the estimated reflectance component is then performed to restore the color component using the input RGB color channels. Experimental results show that the proposed method can provide better enhanced result without saturation, noise amplification or color distortion.
