Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of image processing technology, and in particular relates to an image enhancement method for non-uniform low-light scenes in airborne imaging. Background Technology
[0002] High-quality images are the foundation and key guarantee for the implementation of airborne imaging applications. When conducting airborne imaging acquisition in low-light and unevenly lit scenarios, the inherent limitations of the dynamic range of airborne imaging equipment mean that conventional methods, such as adjusting the exposure time, cannot simultaneously solve the problems of underexposure in dark areas and overexposure in bright areas. This makes it difficult to directly obtain high-quality images with clear details in both bright and dark areas and good color visual effects. Therefore, adaptive enhancement research on images acquired in non-uniform low-light scenarios for airborne imaging is an important technical issue that urgently needs to be addressed. This research can not only effectively support airborne remote sensing imaging but also support technological upgrades and development in multiple fields such as medical imaging, intelligent transportation, and security monitoring.
[0003] To improve the visual quality of images in non-uniform low-light scenes in airborne imaging, researchers have proposed various enhancement methods, mainly as follows: Brightness stretching is achieved by adjusting the histogram distribution. While this method is computationally simple and easy to apply in engineering, it is sensitive to noise and prone to over-enhancement and color degradation. Retinex-based methods decompose the image into illumination and reflection components. Estimating the illumination component can improve contrast, but it easily leads to color distortion. Deep learning-based methods rely on convolutional neural networks for high-performance enhancement, but they depend on the quality of training data, have limited generalization ability, and are resource-intensive, making them difficult to deploy on resource-constrained devices. In summary, existing technologies generally suffer from insufficient universality and weak non-uniform illumination processing capabilities. Global image enhancement methods struggle to simultaneously enhance dark details and suppress highlights, resulting in enhanced images prone to local overexposure, underexposure, color distortion, and loss of detail. Furthermore, existing technologies have limited adaptive processing capabilities for scenes with extremely uneven illumination distribution, failing to effectively improve the visibility of dark areas while fully preserving the texture information of bright areas.

[0078] This invention effectively solves the problem of simultaneously improving the brightness of dark areas and maintaining the detail of bright areas in images of non-uniform low-light scenes, while preserving color fidelity and sense of layering, without color distortion or degradation. It is also simple to calculate and easy to deploy.
[0079] In some embodiments, the airborne imaging non-uniform low-light scene image is an RGB image.
[0080] In some embodiments, step S1 specifically includes:
[0081] S11: Normalize the pixel values of the pixels contained in the non-uniform low-light scene image, and calculate the global intensity mean of the normalized image.
[0082] S12: Convert the normalized image from the RGB color space to the HSV color space, and separate the converted image to obtain the H channel image, S channel image, and V channel image.
[0083] It should be noted that the input is a non-uniform low-light scene image, the pixel values of each pixel in the image are normalized to obtain a normalized color image, and the global average brightness of the normalized image is calculated:
[0084]
[0085] Among them, I m H is the global intensity mean, H is the height of the normalized image, W is the width of the normalized image, i is the row count, j is the column count, and k is the color channel count.
[0086] The normalized image is converted from the RGB color space to the HSV color space, and the hue (H channel), saturation (S channel), and lightness (V channel) of the image are separated.
[0087] In some embodiments, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0088] S21: Perform exponential mapping pre-enhancement calculation on the V channel image to obtain a brightness-enhanced image;
[0089] S22: An improved inverse hyperbolic sine Naka-Rushton nonlinear mapping model is used to adaptively enhance the brightness-upgraded image to obtain the first image:
[0090] ;
[0091] Where U is the first image, A is the brightness-enhanced image, asinh() is the inverse hyperbolic sine function, and c is a constant.
[0092] It should be noted that, keeping the components of the H-channel and S-channel images unchanged, an exponential mapping pre-enhancement calculation is performed on the input brightness V-channel image to obtain the preliminary brightness-enhanced image A:
[0093] ;
[0094] in, As a brightness enhancement parameter, considering both the brightness and contrast quality of the luminance V channel image of a non-uniform low-light scene, the value of τ is set to 0.9.
[0095] An improved inverse hyperbolic sine Naka-Rushton nonlinear mapping model is used to adaptively enhance the brightness of the enhanced image A, resulting in a first image U with improved detail brightness in the dark areas:
[0096] ;
[0097] Wherein, asinh() is the inverse hyperbolic sine function, log2() is the logarithm calculation with base 2, and c is the minimum constant to prevent division by zero, used to avoid data anomalies.
[0098] In some embodiments, in step S3, an improved exponentially modified cumulative distribution function is used to adaptively suppress bright areas in the V channel image to obtain a second image:
[0099] ;
[0100] ;
[0101] Where O is the second image, b is the adaptive suppression parameter, and atan( () represents the arctangent function, V represents the V channel image, and e is the natural constant. This represents the global average intensity.
[0102] It should be noted that for the bright areas of the brightness V channel image, an improved exponentially modified cumulative distribution function is used to perform nonlinear adaptive correction on the V channel image. This step can compress the dynamic range of the brightness V channel image, making the dark areas of the brightness V channel image darker and reducing the amplitude of the bright areas of the brightness V channel image, thus avoiding overexposure and achieving image bright area suppression.
[0103] ;
[0104] ;
[0105] Where O represents the second image; b is the adaptive suppression parameter, and the larger the b, the stronger the protection of bright areas; atan( ) is the arctangent function; to better adapt to various scenarios, the present invention designs the value of b to be adaptively adjustable, specifically calculated based on the global average brightness of the input image.
[0106] In some embodiments, in step S4, the first image and the second image are weighted and fused based on a pixel-level adaptive remapping model to obtain a fused image:
[0107] ;
[0108] ;
[0109] Where F is the fused image, U is the first image, O is the second image, c is a constant, and f is the adaptive region fusion coefficient. This represents the global average intensity.
[0110] It should be noted that, after the preceding calculations, a first image U with enhanced brightness in the aforementioned dark areas and a second image O with suppressed brightness in the aforementioned bright areas can be obtained. Based on a pixel-level adaptive remapping model, the first image U and the second image O are weighted and fused to obtain a fused image F with complementary brightness information.
[0111] ;
[0112] ;
[0113] Where f is the adaptive region fusion coefficient, which adapts to local brightness characteristics and ensures a natural brightness transition in the middle region. The f value designed in this invention is adaptive and adjustable, and is calculated based on the global average brightness of the input image.
[0114] In some embodiments, step S5 specifically includes the following steps:
[0115] S51: Obtain a pixel distribution optimized image by stretching the pixel value range of the fused image using the following formula:
[0116] ;
[0117] Where F represents the fused image, and P represents the pixel distribution optimized image. To merge the minimum pixel values in the image, To merge the maximum pixel values in the image;
[0118] S52: Construct a nonlinear image transformation tone adjustment model based on statistical features, and calculate the pixel distribution optimization image using the following formula to obtain the mid-term enhanced image:
[0119] ;
[0120] ;
[0121] Where Q represents the mid-term enhanced image, The standard deviation of the mid-term enhanced image, The variance of the image during mid-term enhancement is represented by α, which is an adaptive adjustment parameter. This represents the global average intensity.
[0122] It should be noted that, based on the maximum and minimum pixel values of the fused image, the pixel value range of the fused image F is stretched to obtain the pixel distribution optimized image P;
[0123] ;
[0124] Among them, F n To merge the minimum pixel value in image F, F m This is to merge the maximum pixel values in image F.
[0125] A nonlinear image transformation tone adjustment model based on statistical features is established to obtain a mid-term enhanced image Q with clear details in both dark and bright areas.
[0126] ;
[0127] ;
[0128] Where, σ P and u P Let α be the standard deviation and variance of the pixel distribution optimization image P, and let α be the adjustment parameter. In this invention, the value of α is designed to be adaptive and adjustable, and is calculated based on the global average brightness of the input image.
[0129] In some embodiments, step S6 specifically includes the following steps:
[0130] S61: The pixel value range stretching process of the mid-term enhanced image is performed using the following formula to obtain the brightness channel image:
[0131] ;
[0132] in, For the brightness channel image, The maximum pixel value for mid-term image enhancement. This represents the minimum pixel value for the mid-term enhanced image.
[0133] S62: Converts the luminance channel image, H channel image, and S channel image from the HSV color space to the RGB color space to obtain an optimized and enhanced image.
[0134] It should be noted that, based on the minimum and maximum pixel values of the Q-value of the mid-term enhanced image, the dynamic range of pixel values is optimized to better align with human visual habits.
[0135] ;
[0136] Among them, Q n Q is the minimum pixel value in the intermediate-stage enhanced image Q. m To obtain the maximum pixel value in the intermediate enhancement image Q, the above operation can rearrange the pixel values in the intermediate enhancement image Q and map them to the range of [0,1] to obtain a refined brightness channel image Z.
[0137] Based on the original S-channel, H-channel, and luminance channel image Z, an enhanced HSV image is obtained. This image is then subjected to an inverse HSV-to-RGB color space transformation to obtain the final optimized and enhanced image with clear brightness and vivid colors.
[0138] The image enhancement method for non-uniform low-light scenes in airborne imaging provided by this invention has the following technical advantages compared with existing technologies: In terms of adaptive enhancement, based on the global intensity mean and local statistical features of the input image, the enhancement degree of dark areas and the suppression parameters of bright areas are adaptively adjusted to achieve dynamic optimization of the enhancement degree and improve the algorithm's adaptability to different lighting scenes. In terms of maintaining a wide dynamic range, through regional differential processing and an adaptive fusion mechanism, the visibility of details in dark areas is improved while effectively suppressing overexposure in bright areas, significantly expanding the image's dynamic range and improving the imaging effect under non-uniform lighting. In terms of color preservation, the brightness channel is processed independently in the HSV color space to maintain hue and saturation information, fundamentally avoiding problems such as color shift, saturation distortion, and color degradation. The image enhanced by this invention is bright, clear, and has natural and vibrant colors, effectively improving the visual quality and dynamic range of images in non-uniform low-light scenes in airborne imaging. The model has low computational cost and can provide technical support for obtaining high dynamic range imaging in low-light or non-uniform lighting scenes.

And from the comparison... Figure 2 (b) and Figure 3 (b) Figure 4 (b) and Figure 5 (b) Figure 6 (b) and Figure 7 (b) It can be seen that the peak values of the R, G and B pixel values of the enhanced image obtained by applying the present invention move from the left end of the horizontal axis of the pixel value to the right end of the horizontal axis, and the distribution range of the three colors is wider and the differentiation is better.
