Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image enhancement, in particular to a method for enhancing a terahertz near-field radar image. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the terahertz wave has important application value in target detection field due to its outstanding material penetration ability and anti-interference characteristics in the electromagnetic spectrum, and the advantage that the propagation process is less affected by atmospheric conditions. Compared with the traditional microwave radar system, the terahertz radar system has wider working bandwidth, higher spatial resolution and stronger Doppler effect sensitivity, and has become a leading technology for modern target detection, trajectory tracking and feature recognition. With the continuous iteration of terahertz imaging algorithm, relatively clear imaging results can be achieved at present, which provides a basis for subsequent image processing.
[0003] However, due to the insufficient intensity of the terahertz wave light source and the difference in reflectivity of the target material, the existing imaging results generally have problems such as low contrast, blurred edge features and weak details. At the same time, since the target and the background have similar brightness distribution in the terahertz image, when the background brightness is close to the target, the feature information is easily covered, which seriously affects the accuracy of subsequent target detection and feature recognition. The current image enhancement algorithm mainly includes two categories: the method based on deep learning (such as super-resolution reconstruction and generative adversarial network) can effectively reconstruct the detail features, but it is limited by the lack of training samples due to the high cost of the terahertz imaging system, which easily causes model convergence difficulty and non-realistic artifacts; the traditional method (such as histogram equalization, Gaussian filtering, mean filtering and bilateral filtering) can improve the contrast or suppress the noise, but it will cause problems such as excessive enhancement of noise, overexposure / underexposure of local area, edge blur and loss of high-frequency details, which cannot meet the high-quality enhancement requirements of the terahertz near-field radar image.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a method for enhancing a terahertz near-field radar image, which can enhance the contrast of the terahertz near-field radar image to be enhanced, highlight the edge features of the terahertz near-field radar image to be enhanced, and enrich the detail information of the terahertz near-field radar image to be enhanced, is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve.
