Abstract
The invention discloses a method and device for using a neural network to correct white balance of images, and belongs to the technical field of digital imageprocessing. The method comprises the steps of 1, collecting an original image; 2, calculating parameter values of color temperature of an ambient light source; 3, preprocessing the original image and an image to be processed to obtain a preprocessed image and a second preprocessed image which are used for training respectively; 4, constructing a convolutional neural network model; 5, training the convolutional neural network model; 6, utilizing the convolutional neural network to calculate and obtain a red channel gain value (gainR) and a blue channel gain value (gainB); 7, utilizing the red channel gain value (gainR) and the blue channel gain value (gainB) to conduct white balance correction on the image to be processed, and obtaining a white balance image after correction. The method solves the technical problem that white balance easily loses efficiency in the prior art, the calculation speed of an algorithm is effectively increased, the accuracy is greatly improved, and the model is very good in robustness.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of digital imageprocessing, and in particular relates to a method and a device for correcting image white balance by using a neural network. Background technique [0002] The basic concept of white balance is: in the process of image processing, under any light source, restore the color of the image of the original material of the white object, remove the influence of the color temperature of the external light source on the image, so that it can be displayed as white on the photo. [0003] Current automatic white balance algorithms can be divided into two categories, including unsupervised and supervised algorithms. Unsupervised white balance estimates the color temperature of the light source by proposing a series of related assumptions. The calculation is simple, but this type of algorithm is closely related to assumptions. Unsupervised white balance algorithm, common white block assumption and gray wor...
