Underwater optical imaging devices are often affected by the complex underwater environment and the characteristics of the water column, which leads to serious degradation and distortion of the images they capture. Deep learning-based underwater image enhancement (UIE) methods reduce the reliance on physical parameters in traditional methods and have powerful fitting capabilities, becoming a new baseline method for UIE tasks. However, the results of these methods often suffer from color distortion and lack of realism because they tend to have poor generalization and self-adaptation capabilities. Generating adversarial networks (GANs) provides a better fit and shows powerful capabilities on UIE tasks. Therefore, we designed a new network structure for the UIE task based on GANs. In this work, we changed the learning of the self-attention mechanism by introducing a trainable weight to balance the effect of the mechanism, improving the self-adaptive capability of the model. In addition, we designed a feature extractor based on residuals with multi-level residuals for better feature recovery. To further improve the performance of the generator, we proposed a dual path discriminator and a loss function with multiple weighted fusions to help model fitting in the frequency domain, improving image quality. We evaluated our method on the UIE task using challenging real underwater image datasets and a synthetic image dataset and compared it to state-of-the-art models. The method ensures increased enhancement quality, and the enhancement effect of the model for different styles of images is also relatively stable. |
