Illumination Correction with Optimized Kernel Extreme Learning Machine Based on Improved Marine Predators Algorithm

Aiming at the problem of poor image illumination correction accuracy, a kernel extreme learning machine optimized based on the differential evolution-improved marine predators algorithm is proposed to estimate the scene illumination information and restore the image. First, in order to solve the problem of randomization of the initial population of the marine predators algorithm, differential evolutions is used to provide a set of suitable initial populations to the algorithm. Then, an improved algorithm is used to optimize the weight and bias of the kernel extreme learning machine to solve the problem of the randomness of the weight and bias, so that the learning machine converges to the global optimal value and avoids the unstable predictions. Finally, after obtaining the predicted illumination information, the image model is corrected to the image effect under standard illumination through diagonal transformation. It can be seen from the experimental results that the best predictive value of the differential evolution marine predator algorithm learning machine is 0.0135915, and the quasi-bias is only 0.001687. Compared with traditional illumination estimation algorithms such as random vector functional link and extreme learning machine, the differential evolution marine predator algorithm learning machine algorithm proposed in this article has better stability, higher accuracy of calculated predicted values, and better image restoration effect.
