Application of Multimedia Semantic Extraction Method in Fast Image Enhancement Control by Yuyang Gao, Ming Chen, Shouqing Du, Guofu Feng

“…In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to effectively enhance the details of the compressed domain and maintain the overall brightness and clarity of the image when improving the image contrast in the current image enhancement method in the compressed domain, a multimedia semantic extraction method is applied in fast image enhancement control. It has been proposed that thealgorithm that synthesizes training samples according to the Retinex model converts the original low-light image from RGB (red-green-blue) space to HSI (hue saturation intensity) color space, keeps the chrominance and saturation components unchanged, and uses DCNN to enhance the luminance component; finally, it converts the HSI color space to RGB space to get the final enhanced image. …”
