Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of image quality assessment technology, and more specifically to a method and system for quality assessment of low-light scenes without reference images. Background Technology

[0002] Image quality assessment is an important research direction in computer vision, aiming to simulate the human visual system and objectively predict the subjective quality of images. Existing image quality assessment methods are mainly divided into three categories: full-reference, semi-reference, and no-reference methods. Full-reference and semi-reference methods typically rely on the original clear image as a reference, evaluating quality by comparing the difference between the distorted image and the reference image. However, in practical applications, especially in low-light scenes, it is often impossible to obtain an ideal lossless reference image, thus limiting the application scope of full-reference and semi-reference methods. No-reference image quality assessment methods, by eliminating the dependence on reference images, better meet the needs of real-world environments. Traditional no-reference methods mostly rely on manually designed feature descriptors, such as feature modeling methods based on Natural Scene Statistics (NSS). However, due to the complex degradation of low-light images, such as noise enhancement, color distortion, loss of detail, and insufficient contrast, manual features can usually only model specific distortions and cannot comprehensively reflect the multi-dimensional degradation characteristics under low-light conditions.

[0003] In recent years, deep learning has provided a new solution for no-reference image quality assessment. Models such as convolutional neural networks and Transformers can automatically extract multi-level features within an end-to-end framework. However, image degradation in low-light environments involves not only local noise and texture destruction but also overall insufficient brightness and perceptual discomfort. These complex degradation patterns make it difficult for single-feature learning mechanisms to simultaneously capture both local details and global structure. Furthermore, existing methods generally ignore the differences in human visual perception characteristics in low-light scenes, such as enhanced sensitivity to detail and increased sensitivity to brightness changes, leading to discrepancies between evaluation results and actual subjective perception. Moreover, existing methods still fall short in accurately identifying different types of degradation and reasonably modeling human perception in light of the complexity of low-light image quality degradation. On the one hand, models lack the ability to effectively distinguish distortions specific to low-light scenes; on the other hand, networks often ignore changes in human visual perception regarding detail, contrast, and color sensitivity under low-light conditions, resulting in a gap between evaluation results and subjective perception.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve accurate prediction and interpretable analysis of image quality in low-light scenes is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a quality assessment method and system for low-light scenes without reference images.

[0037] In one embodiment, it also includes:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] like Figures 1-2As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a quality assessment method for low-light scenes without reference images, including the following steps. For ease of description, these steps are numbered S1 to S6, and these numbers are not intended to limit the sequential relationship between the various steps of this invention:

[0057] S1 acquires the target image to be predicted.

[0058] Furthermore, the image dataset to be predicted is obtained, and the images in the dataset are uniformly adjusted to a preset size and used as the target image set for subsequent processing.

[0059] S2 obtains a perceptual prior feature map based on the target image.

[0060] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the perceptual prior feature map is as follows:

[0061] Brightness adaptation and contrast sensitivity calculations are performed on the target image to obtain corresponding brightness adaptation feature maps and contrast sensitivity feature maps.

[0062] Color difference visibility feature map is obtained based on brightness adaptive feature map;

[0063] The brightness adaptive feature map, contrast sensitivity feature map, and color difference visibility feature map together form the perceptual prior feature map set.

[0064] Furthermore, the brightness adaptive feature map T lum (x) specifically refers to:

[0065]

[0066] L a (x)=blur(L(x) ;σ a );

[0067] Where L(x) represents the luminance component of the target image mapped to the linear color space, γ represents the coefficient controlling the shape of the response curve, and L... a (x) represents the smoothed local adaptive brightness, ε represents the stability term, blur represents the large-scale smoothing operation, and σ a This represents the smoothness scale; a larger value indicates a wider range of applicability.

[0068] Furthermore, the contrast sensitivity feature map T csf (x) specifically refers to:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, w f G represents the frequency band weight. f,θ M represents a bandpass filter kernel at frequency f and direction θ. f,θ(x) represents the masking term calculated based on spatial frequency and direction, k represents the masking bias, |Ω| represents the number of pixels in the window, Ω(x) represents the local window centered at x, and μ represents the element in Ω(x).

[0071] Furthermore, the color difference visibility feature map T col (x) specifically refers to:

[0072]

[0073] Where △E(x) represents local color difference, and c1 and c2 are both coefficients that control the modulation intensity.

[0074] S3 obtains a comprehensive feature map by stitching together the perceptual prior feature map set and the target image.

[0075] Furthermore, based on the brightness adaptive feature map T lum (x), Contrast sensitivity feature map T csf (x), Color difference visibility feature map T col (x) and target image I dist By fusing and stitching, we obtain the comprehensive feature map P:

[0076] P = concat(T) lum (x),T csf (x),T col (x),I dist ).

[0077] S4 extracts features based on the comprehensive feature map to obtain global quality features and local distortion features.

[0078] Furthermore, the methods for obtaining global quality features and local distortion features are as follows:

[0079] General features are extracted by inputting the comprehensive feature map into the underlying shared structure of the feature extraction network;

[0080] Based on the general features, they are input into the quality branch and artifact branch of the feature extraction network, respectively. The general features are then processed based on the corresponding branch feature extraction functions to obtain the global quality features and local distortion features.

[0081] Furthermore, the general feature f T Specifically:

[0082] f T =f share (P);

[0083] Among them, f share This represents the underlying shared structure of the feature extraction network.

[0084] Furthermore, the global quality feature Fg is specifically as follows:

[0085] F g =f g (f T );

[0086] Among them, f g This represents the high-level feature extraction function for the quality branch.

[0087] Furthermore, the local distortion feature F a Specifically:

[0088] F a =f a (f T );

[0089] Among them, f a This represents the high-level feature extraction function for the artifact branch.

[0090] Furthermore, the quality branch uses the high-level structure of the feature extraction network, while the artifact branch enhances the perception of local anomalies and artifact patterns based on the high-level structure of the feature extraction network. The two branches focus on acquiring features of global quality patterns and local distortion patterns, respectively.

[0091] S5 obtains quality similarity and distortion intensity based on the correspondence between global quality features and local distortion features.

[0092] Furthermore, the methods for obtaining quality similarity and distortion intensity are as follows:

[0093] The similarity is calculated based on global quality features and a set of high-quality prototypes, and the first similarity is used as the quality similarity.

[0094] The second similarity is obtained as the distortion intensity based on the similarity between the local distortion features and the distortion prototypes in the artifact prototype set.

[0095] Furthermore, quality similarity Specifically:

[0096]

[0097] Among them, F g Represents the global quality features of the target image. τ represents a high-quality prototype library containing k high-quality prototypes. g This represents a learnable temperature parameter.

[0098] Furthermore, high-quality prototypes are a set of reference features of high-perception quality pattern images. If the target image to be predicted is similar to these prototypes, it means that it is closer to a good perception pattern. Multiple high-quality prototypes form a high-quality prototype library. The high-quality prototypes are set as trainable parameters and optimized end-to-end together with the feature extraction network.

[0099] Furthermore, distortion intensity Specifically:

[0100]

[0101] Among them, F a Represents the local distortion features of the target image. τ represents a library of artifact prototypes containing k artifact prototypes. a This represents a learnable temperature parameter.

[0102] Furthermore, artifact prototypes are typical feature anchors of bad images with common distortion patterns. The higher the similarity between the target image to be predicted and these prototypes, the more it deviates from good quality. Multiple artifact prototypes form an artifact prototype library. The artifact prototypes are set as trainable parameters and optimized end-to-end together with the feature extraction network.

[0103] S6 uses quality similarity and distortion intensity to obtain a quality score to evaluate the image quality of the target image.

[0104] Furthermore, the quality fraction Q s Specifically:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, β, and All of these represent learnable parameters. Indicates quality similarity. Indicates the intensity of distortion.

[0107] Furthermore, evaluating the image quality of a target image based on a quality score specifically includes:

[0108] The obtained mass fraction Q s Normalization is performed to obtain interval scores [0,1], allowing for direct comparison between different images; if Q s If the value is greater than the set threshold, it indicates that the image is more similar to the high-quality prototype and farther away from the artifact prototype, and the predicted image quality is better; if Q s If the value is less than or equal to the set threshold, it indicates that the distortion intensity is dominant and the image quality is poor.

[0109] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0110] Construct a total loss function and optimize the training of the feature extraction network to obtain a trained feature extraction network for feature extraction;

[0111] The total loss function consists of the quality regression loss, the prototype regularization loss, and the branch complementarity loss.

[0112] Furthermore, during training, the quality regression loss L is calculated. reg Used to fit the mapping relationship between predicted scores and subjective quality scores:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, y i '、y i These represent the predicted score and the corresponding MOS value, respectively, and N represents the number of samples.

[0115] Furthermore, during training, the prototype regularization loss L is calculated. pro Minimize the similarity between similar prototypes and maximize the distance between dissimilar prototypes to ensure the discriminativeness and diversity of prototype distribution:

[0116]

[0117] in, and All of these represent prototypes from a high-quality prototype library. and Both represent prototypes in the artifact prototype library, and λ>0 controls the cross-library interval strength.

[0118] Furthermore, during training, the branch complementarity loss L is calculated. comp Suppressing high-quality branches and artifact branches to learn redundant feature distributions:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, F i g F represents the global quality feature of the i-th target image. i a This represents the local distortion features of the i-th target image.

[0121] Furthermore, by jointly optimizing the quality regression loss, prototype regularization loss, and branch complementarity loss, a total loss function is obtained to ensure prediction accuracy:

[0122] L total =ω1L reg +ω2L pro +ω3L comp ;

[0123] Here, ω1, ω2, and ω3 all represent the corresponding weights.
