Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of computer vision, and in particular to an image enhancement method and system based on adaptive filtering and polarization weighted fusion. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, underwater optical imaging technology has been widely used in the fields of marine resource exploration, seabed topography mapping, and underwater ecological environment monitoring. However, due to the absorption and scattering of light when it propagates in water, the quality of underwater imaging often decreases significantly. These factors work together to cause a sharp drop in the contrast of underwater images and blur the details of the target. Therefore, how to effectively suppress scattering interference and extract key information of underwater targets in complex turbid water environments has become an important research topic. The underwater image enhancement method based on adaptive threshold filtering and weighted fusion can automatically adjust the filter parameters according to the local changes of the image through adaptive threshold filtering, so as to accurately remove noise and retain the detailed information of the image. The weighted fusion technology can better balance the relationship between enhancement effect and image quality by combining the advantages of multiple enhancement methods, avoid over-enhancement or over-denoising, and obtain the optimal underwater image.

[0003] Traditional underwater image enhancement algorithms mainly rely on a variety of image processing techniques to improve image quality by optimizing and enhancing the features of underwater images. These methods generally include: image enhancement based on histogram equalization, which enhances the contrast of the image by adjusting the grayscale distribution of the image; image enhancement based on Retinex theory, which improves the color and contrast of the image by estimating the illumination and reflection components; and denoising methods based on filtering algorithms, which remove noise by smoothing the image while retaining the edges and details of the image. However, these traditional methods often find it difficult to effectively deal with problems such as color distortion, blur and low contrast of underwater images when facing complex underwater environments, resulting in poor enhancement effects and limitations in the restoration of image details. Therefore, an underwater image enhancement method based on adaptive threshold filtering is needed to automatically set an adaptive threshold according to different areas of the image, so that the filtering process is more flexible and precise. It is also necessary to enhance the local details of the image while improving the clarity, contrast and information retention of the underwater image, so that the final enhanced image is more natural and detailed in visual effect.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1 Based on the above ideas, the present invention proposes an image enhancement method based on adaptive filtering and polarization weighted fusion. Figure 1 A flow chart of an image enhancement method based on adaptive filtering and polarization weighted fusion is shown. The method comprises: S10, obtaining an original polarization image from a polarization camera; S20, according to the original polarization image, using Stokes vector calculation to obtain maximum and minimum light intensity images and linear polarization degree images; S30, performing low-pass filtering on the maximum and minimum light intensity images by using an adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm to obtain a filtered image; S40, performing weighted fusion on the filtered image and the linear polarization degree image to obtain an image with clear texture.

[0028] The present disclosure provides an image enhancement method based on adaptive filtering and polarization weighted fusion, which specifically includes the following steps: S10. Acquire an original polarization image from a polarization camera.

[0029] In this embodiment, the original polarization image is obtained by an array polarization camera, which adopts the principle of focal plane segmentation polarization imaging. The original polarization image contains four images with different polarization angles, namely 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. These polarization images are taken by using a camera equipped with a focal plane segmentation array sensor (such as the IMX250MYR model). The principle of the polarization sensor in the polarization camera is that a layer of polarizer is covered on the photodiode of the traditional CMOS image sensor, and four polarizers with different angles (90°, 45°, 135° and 0°) are placed on a single pixel in turn, and every four pixels form a calculation unit. By analyzing the relationship between these polarizers, the degree and direction of polarization can be calculated. By directly processing the image obtained by the polarization camera, the tedious steps of segmentation, reorganization and recalculation are avoided, thereby simplifying the complexity of the system and improving the overall processing speed.

[0030] S20. According to the original polarization image, the maximum and minimum light intensity images and the linear polarization degree image are obtained by using Stokes vector calculation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the maximum and minimum light intensity images and the linear polarization degree image are obtained by using Stokes vector calculation, which are expressed as: , , in, , In the formula, represents the position of the pixel, is the linear polarization image, , , and Respectively represent the light intensity after polarization filtering at 0°, 90°, 45° and 135°.

[0032] S30, performing low-pass filtering on the maximum and minimum light intensity images using an adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm to obtain a filtered image.

[0033] In this embodiment, considering that the backscattered light mainly affects the low-frequency part of the image, the targetless background area is not selected for calculation, but the entire image is low-pass filtered in the frequency domain to accurately estimate the entire intensity B. The process is to first transform the intensity image into the frequency domain through the Fourier function, then multiply it with the transfer function of the filter, and the result of the multiplication is returned to the spatial domain image through the inverse Fourier transform.

[0035] However, this method has a certain impact on the low-contrast areas of the target, that is, the backscattered light intensity obtained by low-pass filtering in these low-contrast areas will have a certain error. In order to further improve the estimation accuracy of the polarization degree of backscattered light, this example uses an adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm to optimize the low-contrast area, which can effectively reduce the errors that may occur in the low-pass filtering process.

[0036] The maximum and minimum light intensity images are subjected to low-pass filtering by using an adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm, including: optimizing the low-pass filtering according to the adaptive threshold, when When , the intensity of the backscattered light is maintained after low-pass filtering; when When , the intensity of the original light intensity image remains unchanged, which can be expressed as: , In the formula, represents an image containing only the backscattered light intensity distribution, is the adaptive threshold, To optimize the backscattered light intensity, represents the position of the pixel, is the original image.

[0037] Optimizing the low-pass filtering according to the adaptive threshold includes: calculating the adaptive threshold using the normalized gradient, and the calculation formula of the adaptive threshold is: , In the formula, is the normalized gradient, is the size of the image, Represents the input image.

[0038] Furthermore, optimizing the low-pass filtering according to the adaptive threshold value also includes: optimizing the low-contrast area by using the adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm, and normalizing the gradient values ​​of different image areas, which is expressed as: , in, , , , In the formula, is the total gradient, Represents the maximum value of all gradient values ​​in the image. represents the input image and * represents the convolution operation.

[0042] Weight calculation: According to the results of the image quality assessment unit, the weights of the two images are calculated.

[0043] Weighted fusion: Apply the calculated weights to the input images for weighted fusion to generate the final fused image.

The image processed by adaptive low-pass filtering and the polarization image are weightedly fused to fully utilize the advantages of both to achieve better image reconstruction.

[0046] In the weighted fusion process, this example uses an image quality evaluation unit (IQEU) composed of a structural similarity index (SSIM), visual information fidelity (VIF), and contrast weight (CW) to reasonably retain the superior information of different source images and calculate the optimal weights of the filtered image and the linear polarization image, which is expressed as: , , , , , In the formula, represents the image after filtering. represents the polarization image, represents the structural similarity index, represents the fidelity of visual information, is the contrast weight of the image, represents the adjustment factor, , Respectively represent images x and images y The mean of , Respectively represent images x and images y The variance of Representing images x and images y The covariance of and is the stability constant, Representing images x and images y The mutual information between Representing images x Self-information, Indicates the image i The brightness value of a pixel, Represents the average brightness value of the image, N Represents the total number of pixels. The optimal weight map is obtained by optimizing the weights of the image processed by adaptive low-pass filtering and the polarization image, and the final fused image is obtained by fusion using the optimal weight map.

[0047] Furthermore, weighted fusion of the filtered image and the linear polarization image includes: weighted fusion of the optimal weights of the filtered image and the linear polarization image, which is expressed as: , In the formula, Represents the weight of the image after filtering. represents the image after filtering. represents the weight of the polarization image, Represents the polarization degree image.

[0048] The disclosed embodiment uses an adaptive threshold low-pass filtering algorithm to perform low-pass filtering on the light intensity image to achieve accurate suppression of backscattered light, and can effectively restore the clarity of underwater scene images without prior background knowledge. The disclosed example also uses a weighted fusion algorithm to weighted fuse the image processed by the adaptive low-pass filtering with the polarization image, thereby generating a high-quality underwater image with high clarity and obvious texture details.

[0049] Example 2 As another aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, an image enhancement system 100 based on adaptive filtering and polarization weighted fusion is also provided.
