[0019] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a nuclear radiation image enhancement system based on artificial intelligence analysis, including a data acquisition module and an image enhancement module.

[0021] S1: Data acquisition module, which collects multi-modal nuclear radiation image data and synchronously records the physical parameter metadata of the gamma camera and neutron imager.

[0022] It should be noted that the synchronous acquisition device composed of a gamma camera and a neutron imager is used, and the detection plane of the acquisition device is The adjustable angle is fixedly installed to synchronously collect and generate gamma radiation images and neutron radiation images with time stamp alignment, and obtain physical parameter metadata at the same time. By setting up the synchronous acquisition device of the gamma camera and the neutron imager, an efficient data acquisition mechanism is created, and the time stamp alignment of the gamma radiation image and the neutron radiation image is achieved. By recording the radiation parameters and blind area information in detail, the accuracy and integrity of the data are ensured.

[0023] The gamma radiation image includes characteristic energy spectrum data and spatial intensity characteristics of radionuclides.

[0024] The neutron radiation image includes light element attenuation coefficient distribution data and spatial density distribution.

[0025] The gamma radiation image and the neutron radiation image are spliced ​​to obtain spliced ​​image data which is input into the image enhancement module.

[0026] The physical parameter metadata includes the radiation source activity value, the detector distance parameter and the acquisition time length during acquisition, which are embedded in the image file header as metadata.

[0027] S2: Image enhancement module, including image completion unit, image compression unit, image fusion unit and image correction unit.

[0028] S201: Image completion unit, inputs the collected image into a two-stage generative adversarial network, the first-stage generator completes the missing area and outputs the initial completed image, and the second-stage generator performs texture repair.

[0029] It should be noted that the image completion unit uses a two-stage generative adversarial network, which includes a first-stage generator and a second-stage generator. The two-stage generative adversarial network is used to achieve image completion and texture restoration, and the missing area can be quickly filled in a short time.

[0030] In the first stage, the generator receives the stitched image data of the gamma radiation image and the neutron radiation image. The operator selects the confidence threshold of the area to be repaired, and the generator dynamically adjusts the structure generation intensity of the completed area according to the threshold.

[0031] The first stage generator receives the stitched image data and receives the confidence threshold parameters set by the operator through the interactive interface. , the range is set to 0.3-0.7. The first stage generator calculates the structure generation strength value according to the confidence threshold parameter, and the first stage outputs the initial completed image.

[0032] When the structure generation strength value is greater than 0.6, the first-stage generator uses a 3×3 small convolution kernel and prioritizes the adjacent region radiation intensity gradient features for completion.

[0033] When the structure generation strength value is less than or equal to 0.6, the first-stage generator switches to a 5×5 large convolution kernel for regional feature inference, and completes it with the light element attenuation coefficient distribution data in the neutron radiation image, calling the light element distribution data of the neutron image to fill in the large missing area; The structure generation strength is defined as the structural continuity level between the completed region and the original region. The structure generation strength determines the reuse priority of adjacent features in the completion process and is calculated as follows: in, Generate strength for the structure, The confidence threshold set by the operator, dimensionless (the operator sets a pure number); is the structural sensitivity coefficient (for example, it can be set to 0.8), dimensionless (the operator sets a pure number); Generates strength as a basis (e.g. can be set to 0.2), dimensionless (the operator sets a pure number).

[0034] The first-stage generator dynamically optimizes the completion process according to the set confidence threshold, so that the completed area maintains a high structural similarity with the original image.

[0035] It should also be noted that the second-stage generator optimizes the texture completion of the image data generated in the first stage, as specifically shown in S205.

[0036] It should be noted that the generators that can be used in both the first-stage generator and the second-stage generator, for example, the first-stage generator can be but not limited to U-Net generator, ResNet generator, and the second-stage generator can be but not limited to Autoencoder (self-encoder), Transformer-based texture generation network; In addition, the input layer of the device generated in the first stage accepts the spliced ​​image data of the gamma radiation image and the neutron radiation image. The convolution layer uses a 3×3 or 5×5 convolution kernel, and the specific selection depends on the structure generation strength; the normalization layer: batch normalization is used to stabilize the training process; the activation function: ReLU is used as a nonlinear transformation to improve the expression ability of the model; the output layer generates the initial completed image; the loss function of the first stage includes structural loss and adversarial loss.

[0037] The structural parameters of the second-stage generator include: input layer, which accepts the initial completed image output by the first-stage generator; texture feature extraction layer, which uses 11×11 or 21×21 convolution windows for local texture extraction; skip connection, adaptive normalization and output layer; the loss function of the second stage includes texture consistency loss and style loss.

[0038] The second-stage generator ensures that the texture of the generated image is natural, achieving the purpose of improving the visual effect. This not only improves the visual quality of the image, but also provides a more reliable information basis for subsequent analysis.

[0039] S202: Image compression unit, which performs radiation intensity partitioning on the output preliminary complete image, dynamically divides it into three radiation intensity areas of high, medium and low, and compresses it using a combination strategy of logarithmic transformation and local histogram equalization. Dynamically dividing the radiation intensity areas and using different compression strategies effectively improves the readability and analysis efficiency of the image.

[0040] It should be noted that the output initial completed image is partitioned by radiation intensity, dynamically divided into three radiation intensity areas of high, medium and low, and compressed using a combination of logarithmic transformation and local histogram equalization strategies.

[0041] The output initial completed image is partitioned by radiation intensity, linearly normalized, and mapped to standard radiation intensity units to generate a full-image radiation intensity distribution matrix of the same size as the input image. The global reference value and spatial gradient are calculated based on the full-image radiation intensity distribution matrix.

[0042] The global benchmark value is calculated by the mean and standard deviation of all pixels in the whole image, and the final benchmark value is determined according to the ratio of the completed area to the total area.

[0043] The spatial gradient calculates the eight-neighborhood comprehensive gradient for each pixel point through the Euclidean distance.

[0044] When the radiation intensity distribution matrix of the entire image in continuous pixel blocks is greater than the sum of the standard deviation of the pixels in the entire image and the global benchmark value, the current area is marked as a high radiation area, the system automatically displays the outline of the high radiation area, and the operator manually excludes the misjudged area.

[0045] When the radiation intensity distribution matrix of the entire image is less than or equal to the sum of the pixel standard deviation of the entire image and the global benchmark value and is greater than or equal to the difference between the global benchmark value and the pixel standard deviation of the entire image, the current area is marked as a medium radiation area.

[0046] When the radiation intensity distribution matrix of the entire image is smaller than the difference between the global benchmark value and the standard deviation of the pixels in the entire image, the current area is marked as a low radiation area.

[0047] For the medium radiation area and the low radiation area, a transition zone with adjustable width (for example, a width of 5 pixels) is generated at the boundary of adjacent areas.

[0048] Compression processing of different radiation zones: Adaptive logarithmic transformation is used to compress the dynamic range of high-radiance areas to avoid oversaturation while preserving details: ,in, is the dynamic compression result of M(x,y), It is the compression factor that the operator adjusts in real time through the slider, dimensionless (the operator sets a pure number); is the radiation intensity distribution matrix of the whole image, dimensionless (normalized pixel value, range 0~1); The system displays a real-time highlight clipping warning and automatically reduces the threshold when it detects that the ratio of oversaturated pixels exceeds the set threshold. value.

[0049] For medium and low radiation areas, local histogram equalization is used and the window size is dynamically adjusted according to the radiation intensity. An 11×11 window is used in the medium radiation area and a 21×21 window is used in the low radiation area.

[0050] Transition zone processing uses a semi-transparent color band to mark the transition zone range and performs linear interpolation on the compression intensity of pixels within the transition zone.

[0051] Through efficient logarithmic transformation and local histogram equalization, the visualization of important information in the image is enhanced, ensuring that high-radiation areas are clearly identifiable, which facilitates further image analysis and monitoring and improves the ability to respond to potential radiation risks.

[0052] S203: An image fusion unit inputs the compressed image into a dual-channel neural network, wherein the dual-channel neural network includes a physical feature channel and a visual feature channel. The physical feature channel analyzes the characteristic peak position of the gamma energy spectrum, and the visual feature channel extracts texture features. The feature maps of the two channels are fused through a spatial alignment module to achieve more comprehensive information extraction.

[0053] It should be noted that the image fusion unit inputs the compressed image into a dual-channel neural network, including physical feature and visual feature channels, and fuses the two-channel feature maps through a spatial alignment module; The physical characteristic channel analyzes the characteristic peak position of the gamma energy spectrum, selects the characteristic peak position according to the characteristic energy spectrum data of the radionuclide contained in the gamma radiation image, calls the structure generation intensity parameter of the complement area of ​​the initial complement image, and applies a compensation offset to the characteristic peak position of the energy spectrum of the complement area. Calculation Satisfaction ,in, is the preset basic compensation coefficient, pixel unit (such as =2 means maximum compensation of 2 pixels), to generate the compensated physical feature map.

[0054] The visual feature channel extracts texture features and extracts weights for the texture features of the complement area. Set to ,in is an adjustable scaling factor.

[0055] The operator adjusts The system automatically generates a semi-transparent marking frame in the dislocated area when the feature misalignment area is detected. The operator clicks the marking frame to trigger the local realignment operation, and the system automatically optimizes the area. value, and generate a weighted visual feature map.

[0056] A two-dimensional coordinate system is constructed in the compensated physical feature map and the weighted visual feature map. The energy spectrum peak position coordinates of the compensated physical feature map are matched with the texture centroid coordinates of the weighted visual feature map. Rigid registration is used for the non-completed area, and elastic deformation registration is used for the completed area. The registration error map is output for manual review. The area where the error exceeds the limit needs to be returned to the image completion unit stage for regeneration.

[0057] The fused feature map not only ensures the integrity of information, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent analysis, making the monitoring and management of nuclear radiation more efficient.

[0058] It should be noted that the physical feature channel mainly focuses on the analysis and compensation of the gamma energy spectrum to ensure that the characteristic energy spectrum data of the radionuclides contained in the gamma radiation image are effectively extracted, and is optimized in combination with the structure completion results, using a common architecture as the basis; The physical feature channel uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture combined with spectrum analysis; The input layer receives the compressed image and generates intensity parameters based on the structure of the initial completed region of the completed image. The feature extraction layer (CNN layer) uses a 3×3 or 5×5 convolution kernel for feature extraction. When analyzing the spectrum, Fourier transform (FFT) or wavelet transform (Wavelet Transform) is used to extract the feature peak position. The output layer generates a physical feature map. Visual feature channel, using but not limited to deep residual network (ResNet) or VGG style feature extraction network; The input layer receives the compressed image and the texture data of the initial completed image, calculates the texture extraction weights, and the feature extraction layer (ResNet / VGG) can, but is not limited to, use 5×5 or 7×7 convolution kernels to extract local texture features, generate weighted visual feature maps, and output the final fusion results.

[0059] S204: The image correction unit performs spatial feature analysis based on the fused two-channel feature map output by the image fusion unit, and matches the pre-stored geometric distortion parameter set to perform nonlinear correction.

[0060] Furthermore, based on the fused two-channel feature map output by the image fusion unit, spatial feature analysis is performed, distortion features are extracted, and an equally spaced orthogonal line array is superimposed on the feature map. The grid intersection offset of the feature peak is tracked, and radial distortion and tangential distortion are identified. This realizes the repair of image geometric distortion and ensures the geometric accuracy of the output image.

[0061] The radial distortion is defined as: calculating the growth rate of the offset from the central area to the edge area, and marking it as radial distortion when the growth rate exceeds a linear threshold; The tangential distortion is defined as: an asymmetric shift of the detection feature point along the diagonal direction of the image, where the shift direction is associated with the detector installation inclination angle; The radial distortion coefficients k1 and k2 are calculated by fitting the offset-radius square curve; the tangential distortion coefficients p1 and p2 are determined by calculating the average value of the tangential offset vector of the feature point, where k1 represents the quadratic radial distortion from the center to the edge of the image (for example, correcting the "barrel distortion" or "pincushion distortion" caused by the curvature of the gamma camera lens), k2 represents the fourth-power radial distortion compensation (for example, correcting the correction residual error of k1 in the high radiation intensity area), p1 represents the rotational asymmetric distortion in the XY plane, and p2 represents the distortion coupling in the diagonal direction; Construct a two-stream convolutional network containing radial distortion sensitive channels and tangential distortion sensitive channels: The radial sensitive channel uses a circular convolution kernel group to detect the curvature abnormality characteristics of the edge area of ​​the image; the tangential sensitive channel uses an oblique convolution kernel to capture the pixel offset characteristics in the diagonal direction; Establish a geometric distortion parameter knowledge base to store correction parameter combinations under typical working conditions. Perform cosine similarity calculation between the radial distortion or tangential distortion feature vector output by the feature analysis layer and the knowledge base. Select the top three parameter combinations with the highest similarity and perform weighted averaging on the selected parameter combinations. The weights are dynamically adjusted based on the historical correction success rate of each combination. An automatic correction strategy is implemented. According to the radial distortion coefficient and the tangential distortion coefficient, the following correction equation is executed to eliminate the radial distortion and tangential distortion caused by the gamma camera lens:

[0062]

[0063] in, is the original coordinate, in pixels; is the corrected coordinate, , pixel square unit; Adjustments are made according to the corrected coordinates and the corrected image data are outputted. The present invention combines the detection of radial and tangential distortions, can accurately identify feature offsets, greatly reduce misjudgments caused by distortion, and improve the credibility of images and their analysis.

[0064] S205: The image completion unit also includes a second-stage generator in a two-stage generative adversarial network adopted by the image completion unit to receive the corrected image data, thereby effectively improving the detail expression of the image.

[0065] A shared texture feature library is established to store standard texture templates under typical working conditions. According to the correlation mapping relationship between the corrected image data and the shared texture feature library, the standard texture template with the highest matching degree is automatically selected. The matching process is based on the following priority order: The first priority is the standard texture corresponding to the identified nuclides in the current processed image, the second priority is the historical case texture with similar radiation intensity distribution, and the third priority is the general radioactive material basic texture; The second-stage generator receives the corrected image data and the matching texture template, performs gradient detection on the edge connection zone of the completed area, and automatically starts transition smoothing when it detects that the grayscale jump exceeds the average gradient value of the adjacent area; According to the divided radiation intensity areas, the texture generation intensity is dynamically adjusted, high-frequency texture enhancement is adopted in high-radiation areas, and the basic texture resolution is maintained in low-radiation areas. The corrected coordinate data is called to ensure that the directionality of the generated texture is consistent with the actual radiation distribution pattern. The present invention can automatically optimize texture matching according to historical cases, ensure the propagation effect and information integrity of the image in the real scene, and help to better reflect the actual radiation distribution.

[0066] Example 2, reference Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a nuclear radiation image enhancement method based on artificial intelligence analysis, comprising: The data acquisition module collects multi-modal nuclear radiation image data and synchronously records the physical parameter metadata of the gamma camera and neutron imager; The image completion unit inputs the collected image into a two-stage generative adversarial network. The first-stage generator completes the missing area and outputs the initial completed image, and the second-stage generator performs texture restoration. The image compression unit partitions the output initial completed image by radiation intensity, dynamically divides it into three radiation intensity areas of high, medium and low, and compresses it by using a combination strategy of logarithmic transformation and local histogram equalization.
