Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of image change detection, in particular to a systematic semantic enhancement method and device for low-light video image change detection, and the present application is applicable to automatic monitoring, traffic monitoring and environmental analysis under complex lighting conditions, and uses deep learning technology to improve the detection capability of small changes and small targets in video sequences. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low-light video image change detection is crucial for night city monitoring, and can identify subtle target movements under insufficient lighting conditions. However, there are problems such as poor visibility, low contrast, complex time sequence dynamics, and lack of semantic information for small targets. In order to solve these problems, researchers have developed various deep learning-based methods for modeling spatial and temporal relationships in the change detection task. Common methods include using convolutional neural networks (CNN) for feature extraction, using attention mechanisms to focus on key areas, and capturing inter-frame changes through temporal modeling. Currently, research and technology for low-light large field of view scenes show obvious limitations, especially in the context of change detection. Existing methods (including traditional image difference, optical flow technology and early machine learning methods) are difficult to effectively perform under weak light conditions. The main defect is the inability to accurately distinguish between real changes (such as the movement or structural changes of pedestrians and vehicles) and pseudo-changes caused by uneven lighting, shadows or noise.

[0003] Although existing methods have made progress, there are still the following limitations: most methods are designed for well-lit or static images and are difficult to handle high noise problems in low-light videos; their temporal modeling often cannot maintain the long-term semantic consistency required for small targets; in addition, the multi-scale feature fusion capability is weak and the boundary perception is not strong, which limits the detection accuracy of small targets in low-contrast environments. More importantly, there is currently a lack of research on semantic enhancement for low-light change detection, and there is a lack of a systematic semantic enhancement framework specifically for low-light video image change detection.

[0029] To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below.

[0030] To overcome the above shortcomings, the embodiments of the present application first propose a semantic enhancement framework specially applicable to low-illumination video image change detection, which integrates three innovative modules: a time-series semantic memory mechanism module (TSMM) that models historical semantic consistency through bidirectional time-series interaction and context semantic enhancement, and enhances time-series robustness; a progressive multi-scale semantic fusion (PMSF) that dynamically fuses multi-scale features through adaptive semantic guidance and low-illumination enhancement mechanism, and improves image semantic visibility; and an edge-aware multi-scale change detection module (EMCD) that improves boundary accuracy and detection accuracy in combination with an edge-guided semantic detection strategy. The framework effectively alleviates noise interference, maintains cross-frame semantic consistency, and significantly improves the detection capability of small targets under low-illumination conditions through systematic semantic enhancement design.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] A semantic enhancement method for low-illumination video image change detection, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps:

[0033] S11: an input module for receiving a pair of low-light video images taken at different times as double-time images;

[0034] Among them, the received low-light video images (i.e. double-time images) are used for image processing and feature extraction in subsequent steps S12 to S14. Through the double-time memory network (TSMM) module, the input low-light video images will achieve consistency in time, thereby enhancing the image quality, which provides a better basis for subsequent analysis. In the multi-scale feature fusion network (PMSF), different levels of features are extracted and fused using the input images of step S11 to effectively enhance the performance of low-light videos. In addition, the multi-scale change detection module (EMCD) will rely on the multi-scale features extracted previously to detect changes in the video to ensure the target detection effect in low-light environments.

[0035] S12: a time-series semantic memory mechanism (TSMM) module that models the long-term semantic consistency across frames through bidirectional time-series interaction and context semantic enhancement based on the double-time images, and outputs a feature representation with long-term semantic consistency;

[0036] S13: Multi-scale fusion features are obtained by multi-scale processing of long-term semantically consistent feature representations. The Progressive Multi-Scale Semantic Fusion Network (PMSF) module dynamically integrates multi-scale fusion features through adaptive weighting, semantic guidance and low-light enhancement strategies, and outputs multi-scale fusion feature representations.

[0037] S14: The final change detection result is obtained based on the multi-scale fusion feature representation.

[0038] Among them, the edge-aware multi-scale change detection module (EMCD) relies on the multi-scale fusion feature representation extracted in step S13. Through multi-scale edge detection and adaptive scale attention mechanism, it enhances the boundary characterization ability, detects changes in the video, and ensures the target detection effect in low-light environment.

[0039] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention effectively mitigate noise interference, maintain cross-frame semantic consistency, and significantly improve the detection capability of small targets under low-light conditions through semantic enhancement design.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The feasibility of the scheme in Example 1 is verified below, using specific experimental data and calculation formulas. See the description below for details:

[0042] S21: Construct low-light datasets, including: L2CD dataset and LL-PSCD dataset;

[0043] The L2CD dataset was self-collected in a real-world environment using high-resolution cameras with low-light sensitivity, filmed at night. The cameras were fixed in high positions on campus, such as in teaching buildings and libraries. The dataset primarily targets dynamic objects such as pedestrians, vehicles, and trees, reflecting typical security and traffic monitoring scenarios. Video was continuously acquired over a relatively long period to capture dynamic information changing over time, such as object movement and environmental changes. The raw video underwent a systematic processing workflow, extracting images at intervals of 10 to 50 frames to ensure temporal dynamic diversity. A total of 880 pairs of dual-temporal image pairs were generated, with an image resolution of 1280×720 pixels. Each processed image pair was manually annotated with a change mask, accurately depicting subtle changes in small targets such as pedestrian movement or slight changes in vegetation under low-light conditions.

[0044] The LL-PSCD dataset is an enhanced version derived from the publicly available PSCD (Panoramic Semantic Change Detection) dataset. This processed dataset contains 2300 pairs of dual-temporal images, finely processed to simulate low-light conditions, providing a valuable resource for testing change detection algorithms in low-light environments. The original PSCD dataset is renowned for its diverse pedestrian activities and environmental change scenarios. This embodiment of the invention transforms it through a controlled low-light preprocessing workflow, including: reducing brightness by 50%, setting the contrast adjustment factor to 0.3, and adding Gaussian noise with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 10 to simulate the limitations of sensors in low-light conditions in reality. All images are uniformly set to a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. S22: The TSMM module employs a bidirectional temporal interaction mechanism. First, it performs forward enhancement computation, concatenating and convolving the current time-step features with the next time-step features, then generating weights using the Sigmoid activation function. These weights are then multiplied element-wise with the original features to obtain the forward-enhanced features. Next, it performs reverse semantic enhancement, using a similar process but swapping the feature order. Finally, it fuses the forward and reverse-enhanced features through concatenation and convolution, achieving effective integration of bidirectional temporal information.

[0045] Forward semantic enhancement:

[0046]

[0047] Reverse semantic enhancement:

[0048]

[0049] Where F1 and F2 represent the features of the images before and after the event, This represents element-wise multiplication. This represents the Sigmoid activation function. This represents the convolution operation. .

[0050] The final bidirectional features are fused in the following way:

[0051]

[0052] in, Indicates forward semantic passing; This indicates backward semantic passing.

[0053] S23: As Figure 3 The TSMM module shown includes four-scale multi-scale memory units, which are processed using a simplified iterative multi-scale dense block (SiMDB) with a distillation rate of 0.25 to optimize semantic features and enhance the detection capability of small changes in low-light video frames.

[0054] S24: The TSMM module extracts global semantic context information through adaptive average pooling, combines multi-scale convolution operations to achieve local semantic awareness, and uses a connected attention weighting strategy to fuse the extracted features to ensure the integrity and consistency of the features.

[0055] S25: The PMSF module employs an adaptive weighting mechanism, dynamically adjusting the importance weights of features at different scales by calculating the quality score for each scale. The quality score calculation uses the Sigmoid activation function to perform global average pooling on the features. For example... Figure 4 The PMSF module shown includes an adaptive weighting module, which calculates the quality score for the i-th scale using the following formula:

[0056]

[0057] in, This represents the Sigmoid activation function. Indicates the feature map Perform global average pooling. Then concatenate the quality scores from all scales to generate a global weight vector.

[0058]

[0059] The weighted features at each scale are obtained using the following formula:

[0060]

[0061] in, Represents element-wise multiplication. Representing feature maps, This indicates that the adaptive weighting module is the feature map at the i-th scale. This represents the weighted features at each scale.

[0062] This method ensures that high semantic quality features associated with small targets receive higher weights, thereby increasing their contribution to the overall detection.

[0063] S26: The PMSF module includes: a semantic guidance module, which generates a semantic attention module with channel-level weights through high-level features (i.e., the 4th scale feature map), a spatial attention module that combines average pooling and max pooling for target localization, and enhances the performance of low-scale features in low-light environments through a progressive semantic propagation mechanism that starts from the deepest (topmost) features in the network feature pyramid.

[0064] S27: The EMCD module uses edge-aware differential computation, employing Sobel and Laplacian operators, multi-scale convolutional kernels (3×3 and 5×5), and dilated convolutions to aggregate edge features. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] in, This represents the edge feature map extracted by the Sobel operator. This represents the edge feature map extracted by the Laplacian operator. This represents the geometric edge feature maps extracted by multi-scale convolutional kernels (3×3 and 5×5). This represents the macroscopic edge feature map extracted by dilated convolution.

[0067] The edge-guided differential features are represented as follows:

[0068]

[0069] in, This is the aggregated edge feature map. This is the activation function.

[0070] S28: The EMCD module constructs four parallel processing branches to process targets of different scales: the small target branch uses 1×1 to 3×3 convolutions, the medium target branch uses 3×3 to 5×5 convolutions, the large target branch uses 5×5 to 7×7 convolutions, and the super-large target branch uses dilated convolutions with dilation rates of 2 and 4. Adaptive feature fusion is achieved by calculating the attention weights of each scale through the Softmax function.

[0071] The formula for calculating the scale attention weight is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] The final feature representation is calculated as follows:

[0074]

[0075] in, Let J be the convolution weights of the j-th dilated convolution path in the s-th scale branch. This is the inter-frame difference feature map after edge enhancement. For normalization, Let be the global channel weight vector at the i-th scale. Let be the features of the i-th path.

[0076] Through the complete steps outlined above, accurate change detection in low-light environments is ultimately achieved. Specifically, the system receives a pair of low-light video images captured at different times as input. Key steps include establishing cross-frame semantic consistency through a temporal semantic memory mechanism, dynamically integrating multi-level feature information through a progressive multi-scale semantic fusion network, and strengthening boundary representation through an edge-aware multi-scale change detection module. Finally, a weighted fusion strategy generates an accurate change detection map. This detection map effectively distinguishes between changed and unchanged pixels, accurately marking the area of ​​change between the two temporal images. This effectively solves the technical challenge of low change detection accuracy in traditional methods under low-light conditions at night due to insufficient light, noise interference, and low contrast. The entire process not only maintains sensitivity to changes in small targets but also enhances robustness to complex lighting changes, providing reliable technical support for practical applications such as campus nighttime monitoring and urban security. It achieves an intelligent transformation from "blurry low-light image pairs" to "accurate change detection results."

[0077] Example 3

[0078] To evaluate the performance of the proposed network model, this embodiment uses Precision, Recall, F1, Overall Accuracy, and Intersection over Union as evaluation metrics. P: Recall is the proportion of correctly predicted changed pixels out of all pixels predicted as changed. R: Recall is the proportion of correctly predicted changed pixels out of the total number of truly changed pixels. F1 score: The harmonic mean of precision and recall, measuring the balance between detection performance. OA: The proportion of all pixels correctly classified (changed vs. unchanged). IoU: The ratio of the intersection to the union of predicted changed regions and truly changed regions, measuring the degree of spatial overlap.

[0079] To illustrate the accuracy of the method, comparisons are made with various models on low-light datasets across two datasets. Overall, the method of this invention performs excellently across all evaluation metrics, achieving the highest performance, specifically as shown in the results on the L2CD dataset:

[0080] As shown in Table 1, our method achieved excellent performance on the L2CD dataset: F1 score: 81.57%, precision: 90.71%, recall: 74.1%, IoU: 73.95%, and overall accuracy: 90.05%, demonstrating the best performance among all compared methods. Compared to the top-performing algorithm RCTNet, our method improves the F1 score by 8.25% and the IoU by 15.48%, thanks to the TSMM module's ability to extract temporal semantic relationships, which helps distinguish between real changes and false detections in complex environments. Compared to TinyCD, the F1 score is improved by 40.67%, precision by 23.84%, and IoU by 41.82%, highlighting the limitations of lightweight methods when dealing with scenarios requiring complex feature modeling. Compared to the Transformer-based BIT method, our method improves the F1 score by 21.58% and the IoU by 28.96%, indicating that our method outperforms the pure attention mechanism in a hybrid architecture based on temporal memory, multi-scale processing, and edge awareness.

[0081] Further analysis shows that this method significantly improves recall while maintaining high accuracy, mainly attributed to the adaptive weighting and semantic guidance of the PMSF module, which effectively alleviates the problem of missed detection of small targets. Compared with Transformer methods such as TransY-Net and TransCD, this method shows significant improvements in both accuracy and IoU, validating the advantages of structured temporal modeling and multi-scale feature enhancement.

[0082] On the more challenging LL-PSCD dataset, our method remains robust, achieving: F1 score of 79.06%, precision of 79.07%, recall of 79.05%, IoU of 65.37%, and overall accuracy of 89.64%. Compared to RCTNet, the F1 score is improved by 3.66%, and the IoU by 4.85%, indicating that the edge perception processing of the EMCD module and the low-light enhancement capabilities of the PMSF module are particularly important in complex scenes. Compared to TinyCD, the F1 score is improved by 6.13%, and the IoU by 8.65%, while maintaining a balance between precision and recall, demonstrating that our method effectively addresses the shortcomings of lightweight methods in complex environments. Compared to the BIT method, our method improves F1 by 13.37% and IoU by 16.46%, indicating that the TSMM module provides crucial contextual information that Transformer methods cannot capture under low-light conditions. Compared to traditional CNN methods such as SNUNet, this method achieves significant superiority in all metrics, with particularly remarkable improvements in recall and IoU, validating the effectiveness of the multi-module design of this method for small object detection.
