Object Detection and Recognition in Low Light Image Using Deep Learning Techniques

Object detection in low-light conditions remains a critical challenge for applications in surveillance, autonomous navigation, security, etc. were poor image visibility results in poor detection accuracy especially in very low-light images.This paper presents an analysis of two popular object detection frameworks YOLOv9 and Faster R-CNN on low-light images after enhancing them using optimization techniques.We implemented a Proposed Method technique consisting of a set of image enhancement steps.Our results indicate that YOLOv9 and Faster R-CNN achieve superior performance with higher average recall, precision, and mAP.These results confirm the impact of integrating low-light enhancement methods on the detection accuracy in dealing with the complexities of low-light image environments.This paper contributes to the development of an image enhancement system for low-light conditions and the pursuit of better results in object detection in images.

Abstract

Object detection in low-light conditions remains a critical challenge for applications in surveillance, autonomous navigation, security, etc. were poor image visibility results in poor detection accuracy especially in very low-light images.This paper presents an analysis of two popular object detection frameworks YOLOv9 and Faster R-CNN on low-light images after enhancing them using optimization techniques.We implemented a Proposed Method technique consisting of a set of image enhancement steps.Our results indicate that YOLOv9 and Faster R-CNN achieve superior performance with higher average recall, precision, and mAP.These results confirm the impact of integrating low-light enhancement methods on the detection accuracy in dealing with the complexities of low-light image environments.This paper contributes to the development of an image enhancement system for low-light conditions and the pursuit of better results in object detection in images.
