An Efficient ODR for Computer Night Vision Using Multi-Scale Retinex Network-Aided Enhanced Images

In the current scenario, recognizing various objects and tracking their movements in the real-time surveillance footage is the most difficult task. To detect objects, a combination of image processing and computer vision algorithms is utilized. Computer-vision based automatic human activity recognition from surveillance video can be utilized for applications such as the identification of violent acts and the study of human behavior. Consequently, this work implements a new "Object Detection and Recognition (ODR)" model for computer night vision utilizing a deep learning technique. In order to improve the supplied input image, the combined images are first transmitted to the "Multi-scale Retinex (MSR)" model. The You Only Look Once Version 7 (YoloV7) model uses the improved image from MSR as input to identify and recognize things. After conducting experiments, the implemented ODR model on the ExDark Dataset obtained an efficiency of 94.8%.
