The invention particularly relates to a semantic knowledge migration-based
high dynamic range imaging method, which comprises the following steps of: acquiring a
low dynamic range image, and generating an initial
high dynamic range image by utilizing an initial
high dynamic range reconstruction model; converting the initial high
dynamic range image into a reconstructed image of a
standard dynamic range domain through domain migration operation;
processing the reconstructed image of the
standard dynamic range domain by adopting a semantic segmentation network SAM to obtain semantic priori;
processing the reconstructed image of the
standard dynamic range domain by combining semantic prior with a semantic prior guidance reconstruction model to obtain a refined reconstructed image; based on a knowledge
distillation method, cross-domain semantic priori migration is realized at three levels of content, color and features, and an initial high
dynamic range reconstruction model is optimized through a combined
loss function; in the reasoning stage, only the optimized initial high
dynamic range reconstruction model is adopted to output a final high dynamic range image. According to the method, high-dynamic-range image reconstruction is carried out by effectively utilizing the advanced capability of semantic priori.
