At present, the human visual perception system is the most effective, accurate, and fast image processing system in the world. This is because human eyes have some special visual features, but the features closely related to image enhancement include color constancy and brightness constancy. This paper presents a new image enhancement framework and computational model which can better simulate human visual features. It is based on the analysis of color constancy and luminance constancy and Retinex theory. And, this is a new image enhancement method in the compressed domain based on Retinex theory. In Retinex theory, DCT coefficients consist of incident components (DC coefficients) and reflection components (AC coefficients). By adjusting the dynamic range of DC coefficients, carefully adjusting AC coefficients, and using the threshold method for block suppression, the compressed domain image can be enhanced. On the basis of Retinex theory, the incident light and reflected light components are considered synthetically, the dynamic range (DC coefficient) of the incident light component and the details of the reflected light component (AC coefficient) are adjusted, and then the incident light component is reexamined. Moreover, it achieves a better image enhancement effect and avoids the blocking effect.

In order to solve the image blurring and distortion problem caused by underwater non-uniform and low illumination, this paper proposes an underwater image enhancement algorithm based on the Retinex theory and the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Firstly, the L component of the original image in the Lab space is extracted as the initial illumination map, and an Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) framework is constructed based on the ADMM to optimize the initial illumination map in order to obtain an accurate illumination image. In addition, the illumination map is further corrected in the luminance region with the Gamma Correction. Secondly, combined with the color constancy characteristics in the Retinex theory, the reflected image of the object is obtained. Finally, the bilateral filter is picked to suppress the underwater noise and obtain a more detailed enhanced image. The experimental results show that the underwater image enhancement algorithm can effectively solve the non-uniform illumination problem caused by natural light or artificial light source and improve the underwater image quality, thus having a better performance than other algorithms.
