[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0030] The above and other aspects of the present disclosure will become more apparent by describing in detail exemplary embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings in which:

[0031] It should be apparent that the foregoing description is merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present disclosure and that the true scope of the present disclosure should be determined by reference to the appended claims.

[0032] It should be apparent that the foregoing description is merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present disclosure and that the true scope of the present disclosure should be determined by reference to the appended claims.

[0033] In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided to thoroughly understand examples. However, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the described aspects can be practiced without these specific details.

[0034] As a remote sensing observation device, terahertz radiometer plays an important role in meteorological monitoring, resource exploration, environmental monitoring and other fields. However, due to the physical limitations of satellite radiometer and the limitations of imaging technology, the brightness temperature data obtained is often limited by spatial resolution, which leads to the inability to effectively interpret the precise remote sensing data. The current method to improve the spatial resolution of radiometer mainly relies on the learning process of sample supervision, and requires a large amount of high-quality and labeled training data. However, such data acquisition is costly and difficult to cover all use cases, especially for new devices or data collection in special environments, there are problems of training sample scarcity and type mismatch. In addition, the previous method often needs to use complex algorithms and expensive computing resources when dealing with cross-channel resolution matching, which has limitations in real-world applications. Therefore, an effective method is needed to realize high-fidelity restoration of terahertz radiometer data in an unsupervised environment, improve the spatial resolution matching degree between different channels, enhance the usability of data, and reduce the complexity of data processing and the consumption of computing resources.

[0035] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device, equipment and computer storage medium for obtaining a high-resolution image, which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for obtaining a high-resolution image is provided for the first aspect of the present disclosure. The method for obtaining a high-resolution image includes the following steps:

[0037] S1, reconstructing the input Gaussian white noise by an image depth prior network to obtain a transient output result;

[0038] S2, under the constraint of a loss function, convolving the transient output result and the input known blur kernel to obtain first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information, which is matched with the input degraded image. Specifically, the loss function can include content loss (such as mean square error MSE) and structure loss.

[0039] S3, extracting gradient information of a high-frequency channel by a gradient loss function, and making the gradient information of the first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information and the gradient information of the high-frequency channel matched, thereby obtaining an enhanced high-resolution image. The introduction of the gradient loss function can guide the model to learn the high-frequency information of the low-frequency channel. This function focuses on the edges and texture details of the radiometer image, which helps to restore the details of the high-resolution image from the low-resolution image.

[0040] Through the method provided by the present disclosure, in the environment of zero samples, the high-detail satellite radiometer non-degraded low-frequency channel brightness temperature data can be recovered, and the enhanced high-resolution image can be obtained, without being subject to the scarcity and type mismatch of the training set.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, S2 comprises generating the first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information by using the following formula:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] wherein z k and z x are one-dimensional Gaussian white noise and two-dimensional Gaussian white noise respectively, T k (z k ) is the two-dimensional PSF after remodeling of the simple neural network, T x (z x ) is the high-spatial-resolution brightness temperature image after the DIP network, t A (x, y, v) is the transient output result.

[0045] In this embodiment, by using the powerful fitting function of the neural network, the first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information that matches the degraded image is generated by using the neural blind deconvolution model of the DIP-Deep Image Prior network, and some inherent problems of the initial DIP asymmetric codec, such as the insufficient ability to capture the prior information of the blur kernel, are improved and solved.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, before S2, the method further comprises:

[0047] S4, preprocessing the transient output result. Specifically, the preprocessing can include denoising and enhancing contrast, so as to eliminate some interference, improve the quality of the obtained image, and reduce the training time and improve the processing efficiency.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the gradient loss function uses the 36.5GHz channel information as the gradient constraint information. The 36.5GHz channel information is used as the gradient constraint information not only because the 36.5GHz channel contains more high-frequency information, but also because the extracted information and the gradient information of the 18GHz low-frequency channel have higher similarity, so as to avoid introducing too much error and improve the quality of the obtained high-resolution signal.

[0049] Specifically, the 36.5GHz channel information is used as the gradient constraint information, and the expression of the gradient loss function is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] where the gradient of the corresponding brightness temperature information using the Sobel operator is represented, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] The gradient information obtained from the network output by the Sobel gradient operator is represented, and the gradient information extracted from the 36.5GHz channel information by the same operator is represented.

[0055] The second aspect embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for obtaining a high-resolution image, comprising a first processing module, a second processing module and a third processing module, the first processing module is configured to reconstruct the input Gaussian white noise through an image depth prior network to obtain a transient output result; the second processing module is configured to, under the constraint of a loss function, convolve the transient output result and the input known blur kernel to obtain first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information, the first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information is matched with the input degraded image; the third processing module is configured to extract gradient information of a high-frequency channel through a gradient loss function, and make the gradient information of the first low-frequency channel brightness temperature information and the gradient information of the high-frequency channel remain matched, thereby obtaining an enhanced high-resolution image.
