AI Technical Summary
Existing plankton image enhancement techniques struggle to achieve accurate multi-scale texture analysis and lack effective phase calibration and feature optimization, resulting in low recognition and processing efficiency in densely textured areas. In terms of color restoration, they fail to establish a precise correspondence between pigment spectral absorption characteristics and color channels, leading to monotonous color levels in pigment areas. In overall processing, the fusion of texture and color areas lacks precise coordinate matching, resulting in abrupt transitions between enhanced and original areas, which damages image integrity and harmony.
A deep learning-based approach is employed to extract the spatial arrangement features of plankton texture and the spectral absorption features of chlorophyll-dominated pigment regions through three-level scale analysis. Pixel-by-pixel phase alignment calibration and feature overlay optimization are then performed. By precisely matching the coordinate matrices of the texture optimization region and the color calibration region, the consistency of feature fusion is ensured. Furthermore, the color ratio is adjusted by dynamically allocating channel weights to create a natural transition.
It achieves clear and regular texture features and true color reproduction in plankton images, improves texture recognition and color differentiation, ensures the overall coordination and integrity of the image, and meets the high-quality application requirements of subsequent morphological recognition and species classification.
