In this paper, the DELLIE algorithm is proposed, an algorithmic framework with deep learning as the central premise that focuses on the extraction and fusion of image detail features. Unlike existing methods, basic enhancement preprocessing is performed first, and then the detail enhancement components are obtained by using the proposed detail component prediction model. Then, the V-channel is decomposed into a reflectance map and an illumination map by proposed decomposition network, where the enhancement component is used to enhance the reflectance map. Then, the S and H channels are nonlinearly constrained using an improved adaptive loss function, while the attention mechanism is introduced into the algorithm proposed in this paper. Finally, the three channels are fused to obtain the final enhancement effect. The experimental results show that, compared with the current mainstream LLIE algorithm, the DELLIE algorithm proposed in this paper can extract and recover the image detail information well while improving the luminance, and the PSNR, SSIM, and NIQE are optimized by 1.85%, 4.00%, and 2.43% on average on recognized datasets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24060815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,11]],"date-time":"2022-06-11T09:33:26Z","timestamp":1654940006000},"page":"815","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Low Light Image Enhancement Algorithm Based on Detail Prediction and Attention Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8982-8709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanming","family":"Hui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian 116039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1381-9667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jue","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian 116039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian 116039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian 116039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"0209001","DOI":"10.3788\/CJL201542.0209001","article-title":"Adaptive enhancement algorithm for low illumination images based on wavelet transform","volume":"42","author":"Li","year":"2015","journal-title":"Chin.
