Low-illumination image enhancement in the space environment based on the DC-WGAN algorithm.

Sensors (Basel). 2021 Jan 4;21(1):286.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33406689

Note: From the abstract: “Owing to insufficient illumination of the space station, the image information collected by the intelligent robot will be degraded, and it will not be able to accurately identify the tools required for the robot’s on-orbit maintenance. This situation increases the difficulty of the robot’s maintenance in a low-illumination environment. We proposes a novel enhancement method for images under low-illumination, namely, a deep learning algorithm based on the combination of deep convolutional and Wasserstein generative adversarial networks (DC-WGAN) in CIELAB color space.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
