Therefore, when the visual feature fine-resolution task is completed multiple times in a row, the noise used in the task is not exactly the same. The parameters used by the noise can be randomly selected within a certain range. The difficulty of the task after adding noise is much greater than the difficulty of the task before adding.

[0055] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a noise generation and use method for a visual feature fine resolution task, comprising the steps of:

[0057] S1. Obtain the parameters of the visual display device, including the maximum brightness L max , minimum brightness L min and the visual angle DPD occupied by each point in the displayed image;

[0058] S2. Obtain the visual feature image L to be distinguished target (x,y) parameters, including spatial frequency sf target 、DirectionOri target and contrast C target ;

[0059] S3, generating a random point noise image L according to the parameters of the visual display device and the parameters of the visual feature image to be distinguished RandomDot (x,y) and the raster noise image L grating (x,y);

[0060] S4, based on the random point noise image L RandomDot (x,y) and the raster noise image L grating (x,y) Get the noise image L noise (x,y);

[0061] S5, superimpose noise image L noise (x, y) and the visual feature image L to be distinguished target (x,y) Get the noise superposition image L mixed (x,y), perform the task of fine-grained visual feature resolution.

[0062] S6. Adjust the execution mode of the visual feature fine resolution task according to the parameters of the visual display device.

[0063] The present invention Figure 1The embodiment shown illustrates the method of the present invention:

[0064] The content of the visual feature fine discrimination task is to judge the fine differences of visual features appearing in a specified spatial position and time window. For example, a curve that is close to a straight line appears in a specified spatial position and time window, such as Figure 1 (a) may be slightly curved to the right, such as Figure 1 As shown in (b), it may also be slightly curved to the left. A biological individual or artificial intelligence system that completes the task of finely distinguishing visual features needs to analyze the image and determine the image.

[0065] In the absence of additional noise, the image difference is more obvious, such as Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 As shown in (b), the difficulty of completing the task of fine-tuning visual features is relatively low; in order to increase the difficulty of the task and make it closer to the actual application scenario, Figure 1 (a) with Figure 1 (b) Add random point noise image L RandomDot (x,y) and the raster noise image L grating (x,y).

[0066] Generate random point noise image L RandomDot The process of (x,y) includes:

[0067] Based on sf target and C target Determine the parameters of the smallest component unit in the random point noise image, such as Figure 1 (a) with Figure 1 (b) Image, spatial frequency sf target It can be determined as 12 cycles / degree, contrast C target It can be determined as 0.60 to determine the minimum component unit parameter in the random point noise image.

[0068] Minimum unit parameters, including the size of the minimum unit RandomDot and the contrast of the smallest component unit C RandomDot , the formula is:

[0069] Size RandomDot =round(DPD / (sf target ×n sf,RandomDot ))

[0070] C RandomDot =min(n c,RandomDot ×C target ,1)

[0071] Among them, round is a rounding function, min is a minimum value function, DPD is the viewing angle occupied by each point (x, y) in the image when the visual display device displays the image (in units of "points / degrees"), and the value of this embodiment can be 96, n c,RandomDot and n sf,RandomDot are coefficients, and can be randomly selected from uniform distributions U[1.0,10.0] and U[3.80,5.80], respectively. In this embodiment, n c,RandomDot The value is 1.0, n sf,RandomDot The value is 3.80, Size RandomDot The value is 2, C RandomDot The value is 0.20.

[0072] Based on the size of the smallest unit RandomDot and the contrast of the smallest component unit C RandomDot , construct a random point noise image L RandomDot (x,y), the formula is:

[0073] L RandomDot (x,y)=L mean ×(1+R(Size RandomDot , C RandomDot ))

[0074] Among them, L RandomDot (x, y) represents the brightness of each point (x, y) in the random point noise image; L mean is the average brightness; R(Size RandomDot , C RandomDot ) is an image generated using a random algorithm; the image is composed of multiple square minimum components, and the length and width of the minimum component are both Size RandomDott , the contrast of the smallest component unit is C RandomDot or –C RandomDot Randomly selected with equal probability, or randomly taken from a normal distribution N(0,C RandomDot 2 ).

[0075] The number of the smallest component units of the random point noise image is not less than 100. When the contrast of the smallest component unit is randomly taken from the normal distribution N(0,C RandomDot 2 ), the minimum number of constituent units shall not be less than 256.

[0076] In this embodiment, the effect of actually generating a random point noise image and superimposing the original visual feature image to be distinguished is as follows: Figure 1 (c) and Figure 1 As shown in (d), it can be seen that after superimposing the random point noise image, the resolution of the original visual feature image to be resolved becomes more difficult.

[0077] Furthermore, because the identification of image details is also closely related to the image orientation (centered on "vertical", slightly tilted or bent to both sides), a grating noise image containing orientation information can also be generated. The process includes:

[0078] C-based target 、sf target and Ori target , determine the contrast C of the grating noise image grating , spatial frequency sf grating Ori grating , the formula is:

[0079] C grating =min(n c,grating ×C target ,1)

[0080] sf grating =sf target ×n sf,grating

[0081] Ori grating =Ori target +Ori θ

[0082] Among them, min is the minimum value function; n c,grating and n sf,grating are coefficients, randomly selected from uniform distributions U([1.0,2.0]) and U([0.67,0.8],[1.25,1.66]) respectively; Ori θ is the additional value of orientation, which is randomly selected from the uniform distribution U([-10,10]) and the unit is circular degree;

[0083] In this embodiment, n c,grating The value is 1.0, n sf,grating The value is 1.33, C grating The value is 0.20, sf grating The value is 16 cycles / degree, Ori θ is 0 degrees.

[0084] Based on contrast C grating , spatial frequency sf grating Ori grating , construct the random grating noise image L grating,1 (x,y), the formula is:

[0085] L grating,1 (x,y)=L mean ×(0.5+C grating ×sin(2π(sfgrating ×DPD×(ycos(Ori grating )–xsin(Ori grating )))+Φ))

[0086] Among them, L grating,1 (x, y) represents the brightness at each point (x, y) in a random grating noise image, L mean is the average brightness, DPD is the viewing angle occupied by each point (x, y) in the grating noise image (in units of “pieces / degree”), and Ф is the random value of the grating phase.

[0087] Construct random grating noise image L grating,i (x,y) process n times, get n L grating,i (x,y), according to n L grating,i (x,y) Get the grating noise image L grating (x,y), the formula is:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, L grating,i (x, y) is the random grating noise image constructed for the i-th time, 1≤i≤n, i and n are positive integers.

[0090] In the embodiment, the effect after the original visual feature image to be distinguished is superimposed on the grating noise image is as follows: Figure 1 (e) with Figure 1 As shown in (f), it can be found that after superimposing the slightly tilted grating, the original visual feature image to be distinguished seems to be a little distorted. This is actually because the azimuth information carried by the grating interferes with the azimuth discrimination of the original visual feature image to be distinguished. However, due to the difference in spatial frequency information in the horizontal direction between the grating and the original visual feature image to be distinguished, the recognition of the image is not seriously disturbed.

[0091] According to the random point noise image L RandomDot (x,y) and the raster noise image L grating (x,y) Get the noise image L noise (x,y), the formula is:

[0092] L noise (x,y)=L RandomDot (x,y)+L grating (x,y)

[0093] Among them, L noise (x,y) represents the brightness at each point (x,y) in the noise image.

[0094] Based on L noise (x,y) and Ltarget (x, y), get the noise superposition image L of the two mixed (x,y), the formula is:

[0095] L mixed (x,y)=L noise (x,y)+L target (x,y)

[0096] Among them, L noise (x, y) represents the brightness of each point (x, y) in the noise image, L target (x, y) represents the brightness at each point (x, y) in the target image of the visual feature to be distinguished.

[0097] According to the parameters of the visual display device, the execution mode of the visual feature fine resolution task is adjusted. mixed There is no brightness in (x, y) that exceeds the maximum brightness L of the visual display device max Or below the minimum brightness L min In the task of fine-resolution visual feature resolution, the visual display device is used to directly present the noise superposition image L mixed (x,y).

[0098] When L mixed (x, y) has a brightness that exceeds the maximum brightness L of the visual display device max Or below the minimum brightness L min In the task of fine-tuning visual features, a visual display device is used to alternately present noise-superimposed images L mixed (x, y) and the visual feature image L to be distinguished target (x,y).

[0099] Using a visual display device to alternately present noise superimposed images L mixed (x, y) and the visual feature image L to be distinguished target (x, y), each noise image presented is generated independently according to the parameters; the time range for each image to be presented continuously is 10-100 milliseconds; the noise superposition image L mixed (x,y) cumulative presentation time and visual feature image to be distinguished L target The ratio of (x,y) presentation time is not less than 1.0.

[0100] In addition to directly superimposing the original visual feature image to be distinguished with the noise image, the method of alternately presenting the noise image and the original visual feature image to be distinguished can also be used to use the method of alternately presenting the noise image and the original visual feature image to be distinguished; when an image with specific visual features appears in the specified spatial position and time window, for example, when L mixed (x, y) has a brightness that exceeds the maximum brightness L of the visual display device maxOr below the minimum brightness L min The noise image and the original visual feature image to be distinguished can be presented alternately, each presentation time is 50 milliseconds, and each is presented twice, such as Figure 3 As shown, while achieving the goal of "increasing the difficulty of the resolution task by adding noise", it can effectively avoid the display deviation that occurs when the theoretical brightness in the image exceeds the display range of the visual display device when the noise image is directly superimposed on the original visual feature image to be resolved.

[0101] In this embodiment, the final noise image is superimposed on the original visual feature image to be distinguished, and the effect is as follows: Figure 1 (g) and Figure 1 As shown in (h); after superimposing the noise image, the content of the discrimination task changes from the original “distinguishing Figure 1 (a) with Figure 1 (b)”, adjusted to “distinguish Figure 1 (g) with Figure 1 (h)”; because the random point noise image in the noise provides spatial frequency and contrast information close to the original visual feature image to be distinguished, and the grating noise image in the noise provides orientation information close to the original visual feature image to be distinguished, the discrimination of the original visual feature image to be distinguished will be significantly disturbed after the noise is superimposed.

[0102] In addition, the parameters used by the noise can be randomly selected within a certain range, so when completing the visual feature fine-resolution task multiple times in a row, the noise used in the task is not exactly the same. θ Randomly select different values ​​from the uniform distribution U([-10,10]), so there are slight differences in the orientation of the grating in the noise, such as Figure 2 (a) with Figure 2 (b) Figure 2 (c) with Figure 2 (d) Figure 2 (e) with Figure 2 (f) Using three different Ori θ ; On this basis, the discrimination experience related to background or noise is difficult to be effectively shared between different tasks. Therefore, the difficulty of the task after adding noise is much greater than the difficulty of the task before adding it, and can be used to evaluate the fine discrimination ability of visual features of higher-level biological individuals or artificial intelligence systems.
