To solve the problem of difficult face detection in a low illumination vehicle environment, a novel multi-scale retinex color restoration (MSRCR) approach exploiting the RGB three-channel decomposition and guided filtering (MSRCR-3CGF) is proposed. The MSRCR algorithm is employed to remove the artifacts and interference of low-light in the image based on the face detector using a multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network (MTCNN). The enhanced face image is decomposed into RGB, and GF is applied to each channel. The proposed method is tested on three widely used datasets: Dark Face, large-scale CelebFaces attributes (CelebA) and WIDER FACE, and an actual low-light scene in vehicles. The experimental results show that the proposed method suppresses the high-frequency noise of MSRCR, whilst improving the image enhancement and accuracy in the face detection in a low-light vehicle environment.
