Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image processing, and particularly to a method, device, equipment, medium and product for denoising cell morphology images. Background Art

[0002] Cells are the basic building blocks of organisms. Understanding cell morphology and measuring cell physical properties for cell differentiation and cell function analysis is an important topic in scientific research. Tapping-Mode Atomic Force Microscopy (TM-AFM) probe scanning imaging has high resolution and little damage to samples, making it the most ideal atomic force microscope for cell imaging in the atomic force family.

[0003] When the height gradient on the cell surface is large, the probe of TM-AFM cannot achieve rapid adjustment over a large range, resulting in noise in the tapping atomic force morphology image of the cell. During the process of contact mode scanning imaging, the probe will scratch the cell, causing large fluctuations in the piezoelectric displacement platform, and further resulting in noise in the morphology image, reducing the accuracy of the morphology image scanned by the TM-AFM probe.

[0004] Currently, when there is scanning noise in the morphology image scanned by the TM-AFM probe, an operator with rich experience in scanning cells and the ability to adjust the parameters of the TM-AFM probe usually adjusts the scanning parameters based on personal experience to reduce the scanning noise of the cell morphology image. However, this denoising method is limited by the personal ability of the operator of the tapping atomic force, and can only have a certain denoising effect on the cell morphology image when the cell gradient change range is not large. How to find a suitable denoising method to effectively reduce the scanning noise in the morphology image scanned by the TM-AFM probe of cells is an obstacle to the application of TM-AFM in cell imaging.

[0049] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] The present application provides a method for denoising a cell morphology image, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the method for denoising a cell morphology image includes:

[0052] Step 101: Obtain a morphology image and an amplitude image generated by scanning a probe of a tapping mode atomic force microscope for a target cell.

[0053] Step 102: Perform gray-scale conversion on the morphology image and the amplitude image respectively to obtain a morphology gray-scale image and an amplitude gray-scale image.

[0054] Step 103: Perform image fusion on the morphology gray-scale image and the amplitude gray-scale image to obtain a fused image.

[0055] Step 104: Fit the pixel values of each pixel point in the non-noise region of the morphology gray-scale image with the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the fused image to obtain a mapping relationship formula between the pixel values in the morphology gray-scale image and the pixel values in the fused image; the non-noise region is the region outside the cell nucleus.

[0056] Step 105: Map the pixel values of each pixel point in the fused image using the mapping relationship formula to obtain a denoised morphology gray-scale image.

[0057] Step 106: Perform inverse gray-scale conversion on the denoised morphology gray-scale image to obtain a denoised color morphology image.

[0058] Based on the high correlation between the amplitude image and the morphology image of the cell scanned by TM-AFM, the present application preprocesses the morphology image and the amplitude image of the cell respectively, and then performs image fusion on the preprocessed morphology image and amplitude image of the cell to obtain a denoised cell fused image. The pixel values of multiple noise-free pixel points in the cell morphology image are numerically fitted with the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the cell fused image, so as to obtain the corresponding relationship formula between the pixel values in the cell fused image and the pixel values in the cell morphology image. Using this formula, the cell fused image can be restored to a denoised cell morphology image. Without changing the basic height information of the morphology image, the image data of the noise region in the denoised image is replaced by the image data in the fused cell image, thereby effectively reducing the noise of the morphology image. The present application can perform denoising processing on the morphology noise that appears in the TM-AFM cell scanning imaging, and further improve the quality of the TM-AFM scanning cell morphology imaging.

[0059] Among them, in an exemplary embodiment, the atomic force microscopy imaging system used for tapping mode cell scanning imaging is the AFM atomic force microscopy imaging system of the NanoWizard 3 BioScience model in the laboratory, and the model of the scanning probe used is the TAP300AL-G tapping type scanning probe. The measurement principle of the atomic force probe is as Figure 3 shown. The laser 2 emits laser light, which is converged and irradiated onto the tip surface of the scanning probe 3, and then reflected onto the photodetector 1 to detect the tip amplitude and phase of the scanning probe 3. The topography of the cell sample 4 on the substrate 5 can be accurately measured through the change in the tip amplitude of the scanning probe 3. A piezoelectric ceramic 6 is used inside the substrate 5.

[0060] Among them, in step 102, the gray conversion formulas for performing gray conversion on the topography image and the amplitude image are respectively expressed as: Gray = (Red * 0.3 + Green * 0.59 + Blue * 0.11).

[0061] Among them, Gray is the pixel value after gray conversion, Red is the red color value, Green is the green color value, and Blue is the blue color value. Figure 4 Part (a) in it is the topography image obtained by TM-AFM scanning the cell, Figure 4 Part (b) in it is the amplitude image obtained by TM-AFM scanning the cell, Figure 4 Part (c) in it is the corresponding topography gray image of part (a), Figure 4 Part (d) in it is the corresponding amplitude gray image of part (b).

[0062] Among them, step 103 specifically includes: using a 6-layer Laplacian pyramid image fusion algorithm to perform image fusion on the topography gray image and the amplitude gray image to obtain a fused image. The fused image is as Figure 4 shown in part (e).

[0063] Among them, step 104 specifically includes: forming a first pixel value set from the pixel values of each pixel point in the non-noise region of the topography gray image, and forming a second pixel value set from the pixel values of the corresponding pixel points in the fused image. The pixel points in the first pixel value set and the pixel points in the second pixel value set correspond one by one.

[0064] According to the first pixel value set and the second pixel value set, a 5th-order polynomial regression model is used as the mapping relational expression for relationship fitting to obtain the mapping relational expression between the pixel values in the topography gray image and the pixel values in the fused image.

[0065] The 5th-order polynomial regression model is expressed as: y = a0 + a1x + a2x 2 + a3x 3 + a4x4 + a5x 5 + ε。

[0066] Wherein, y represents the pixel value of a pixel point in the morphological grayscale image, x represents the pixel value of a pixel point in the fused image, ε is a random error, and a i is the i-th regression coefficient, where i ∈ [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

[0067] Wherein, based on the first pixel value set and the second pixel value set, a 5th-degree polynomial regression model is used as a mapping relational expression for relationship fitting to obtain the mapping relational expression between the pixel value in the morphological grayscale image and the pixel value in the fused image, specifically including:[[]]

[0068] Based on the first pixel value set and the second pixel value set, the least squares method is used to perform model fitting on the 5th-degree polynomial regression model to obtain the mapping relational expression between the pixel value in the morphological grayscale image and the pixel value in the fused image. More specifically, the 5th-degree polynomial regression model is rewritten into a matrix form model, and the matrix form model is: Y = aX + ε.[[]]

[0069] Wherein, Y = [y1, y2,..., y N [[]] T , a = [a0, a1,..., a N [[]] T , X is a design matrix composed of the variable x and the powers of the variable x. The first column of the design matrix is all 1, the second column is x1, x2,..., x N , the third column is and so on until the sixth column Y is a dependent variable vector, a is a coefficient vector, y n is the pixel value of the n-th pixel sampling point in the morphological grayscale image, x n is the pixel value of the n-th pixel sampling point in the fused image, where 1 ≤ n ≤ N, and N is the number of pixel sampling points.[[]]

[0070] Based on the first pixel value set and the second pixel value set, the least squares method is used to perform model fitting on the matrix form model to obtain the mapping relational expression between the pixel value in the morphological grayscale image and the pixel value in the fused image.[[]]

[0071] The purpose of simulation fitting is to find a set of regression coefficients to minimize the sum of squared residuals where is the predicted value. According to mathematical derivation, the optimal solution is the vector composed of each regression coefficient.[[]]

[0072] According to the optimal solution the mapping relationship formula for determining the pixel values of the fused grayscale image and the morphological grayscale image can be obtained as in is the estimated value of the regression coefficient of the optimal solution obtained from the previous calculation.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, y = 75.67 + 3.28x - 3.56x 2 + 0.043x 3 - 3.47×10 -3 x 4 + 4.52×10 -4 x 5 .

[0074] Wherein, step 105 specifically includes: according to the grayscale conversion formula, performing grayscale inverse conversion on the denoised morphological grayscale image to obtain a denoised color morphological image. The denoised morphological grayscale image is as shown in part (f) of Figure 4 and the denoised color morphological image is as shown in part (g) of Figure 4 .

[0075] The cell surface is soft. When using a TM-AFM probe to scan and image the cell, the amplitude set between the probe and the cell should be as small as possible. In the central region of the cell, when the vertical height drop is large, the piezoelectric platform on which the cell is placed cannot quickly achieve real-time adjustment, and the probe may come into contact with the cell surface, resulting in scanning noise in the cell morphological image. This application can effectively solve the problem of noise caused by excessive gradient changes in the central region of the cell when using a TM-AFM probe to scan and image the morphology of biological cells, and effectively compensates for the noise error generated by the current TM-AFM probe scanning cell imaging method.

[0076] In addition, before each image denoising, this application also performs grayscale transformation on the morphological image and the amplitude image using the same formula, so that the pixel mapping of the subsequent morphological image and amplitude image and the conversion of the fused image into the morphological image are carried out according to a unified standard, improving the effect of image denoising and ensuring the accuracy of converting the fused image into the morphological image.
