In order to address issues such as high noise, low brightness, and blurred details in low-light conditions, a new algorithm named UMDCEAD-NET, integrating zero-reference depth curves for low-light image enhancement and denoising, was developed. The algorithm's design was initially centered around a feature extraction network, employing a U-Net architecture as the backbone network. To enhance the feature extraction capabilities and preserve more detailed image information, Mobile-Net was integrated into the downsampling phase of the U-Net backbone. Subsequently, to address the issue of inadequate lighting and pixel-level image degradation, the extracted features underwent iteration using depth curve estimation (LE-curve), in conjunction with depth separable convolution, which served to reduce the network model's parameter count. Furthermore, five non-reference loss functions were engineered to bolster the algorithm's generalization capabilities and its retention of detail under varying lighting conditions. The enhanced image was then subjected to noise reduction in tandem with AD-NET(attentional denoising network), thereby diminishing the noise and aligning the image more closely with human visual perception. Experimental outcomes demonstrated that the proposed algorithm achieved an average PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) of 22.29 on the public dataset Zero-DCE, which exceeded the performance of the Zero-DCE++ algorithm by 32%. Additionally, on the public dataset LOL, the algorithm attained an average PSNR of 21.15, outperforming the SGZ algorithm by 3%. These results indicate that the algorithm effectively mitigates noise in enhanced images, enriching the detail information in both dark and bright regions, and significantly improving image quality compared to other mainstream algorithms.
