Description

[0002] During underwater detection and imaging, side-scan sonar images are susceptible to factors such as water scattering, seabed reverberation, equipment circuit interference, and ocean current disturbances, resulting in a large amount of random noise. Various types of noise not only mask the echo signals of weak underwater targets and blur the edge contours of targets such as shipwrecks, pipelines, and reefs, but also disrupt the image grayscale distribution, confuse different seabed characteristics, and severely degrade the quality of sonar images. Furthermore, noise significantly interferes with subsequent image segmentation, feature extraction, and target recognition, easily leading to missed detections and misjudgments, reducing the accuracy of underwater survey data. Therefore, noise reduction processing of side-scan sonar images is essential. Effective noise reduction can filter out irrelevant interference information, restore the true seabed topography and target morphology, and clearly highlight the characteristics of underwater targets. It also provides high-quality image data for practical operations such as seabed topographic mapping, marine geological surveys, and underwater engineering exploration, and improves the accuracy of subsequent intelligent interpretation algorithms.

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.

[0050] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-scan image denoising method and system based on empirical mode decomposition and visual shrinkage threshold, so as to achieve visual shrinkage threshold filtering of BIMF1 layer.

[0051] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] In the following scheme, FastBEMD represents fast two-dimensional empirical modality decomposition, and VisuShrink represents fast visual shrinkage. For ease of writing, the following text will be written in English.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a side-scan image denoising method based on empirical mode decomposition and visual shrinkage threshold, the method comprising:

[0054] Step S1: Acquire noisy side-scan sonar images.

[0055] Step S2: Perform FastBEMD adaptive decomposition on the noisy side-scan sonar image to obtain two-dimensional intrinsic mode components; the two-dimensional intrinsic mode components include: BIMF1 layer, intermediate layer and residual layer.

[0056] Step S3: Based on the VisuShrink criterion, noise components are filtered out from the BIMF1 layer to obtain the denoised BIMF1 layer.

[0057] Step S4: Overlay and reconstruct the denoised BIMF1 layer, intermediate layer and residual layer to obtain the denoised side-scan sonar image.

[0058] The following is a detailed discussion of each step:

[0059] Step S2: Perform FastBEMD adaptive decomposition on the noisy side-scan sonar image to obtain two-dimensional intrinsic mode components, specifically including:

[0060] Step S21: Using the sequential statistical filtering method, calculate the upper and lower envelopes of the local area of ​​the noisy side-scan sonar image respectively;

[0061] Step S22: Calculate the upper envelope surface and the lower envelope surface based on the upper envelope and the lower envelope respectively.

[0062] Step S23: Based on the upper and lower envelope surfaces, obtain the two-dimensional intrinsic mode components through iterative sieving; the two-dimensional intrinsic mode components include: BIMF1 layer, intermediate layer and residual layer; the BIMF1 layer is the first two-dimensional intrinsic mode component layer, and this layer has the highest frequency, so this layer can also be called the high-frequency BIMF1 layer; the remaining two-dimensional intrinsic mode component layers are collectively called intermediate layers, and the frequency of the intermediate layers decreases layer by layer, so they can also be called mid-low frequency BIMF layers.

[0063] Step S24: Determine whether the decomposition termination condition has been met; if the decomposition termination condition has been met, output the two-dimensional intrinsic mode components; if the decomposition termination condition has not been met, return to step S21.

[0064] Determining whether the decomposition termination condition has been met includes:

[0065] Determine if the total residual value is less than a set threshold; if it is less than the set threshold, the decomposition termination condition has been met; if it is greater than or equal to the set threshold, determine if the number of decomposition layers has reached a preset number; if it has reached the preset number, the decomposition termination condition has been met; if it has not reached the preset number, the decomposition termination condition has not been met.

[0066] Alternatively, determine whether the number of decomposition layers has reached the preset number of layers; if the preset number of layers has been reached, it means that the decomposition termination condition has been met; if the preset number of layers has not been reached, determine whether the total residual value is less than the set threshold; if it is less than the set threshold, it means that the decomposition termination condition has been met; if it is greater than or equal to the set threshold, it means that the decomposition termination condition has not been met.

[0067] Step S3: Based on the VisuShrink criterion, noise components are filtered out from the BIMF1 layer to obtain the denoised BIMF1 layer, specifically including:

[0068] Step S31: Based on the VisuShrink criterion, perform global adaptive soft threshold calculation on the BIMF1 layer, specifically including:

[0073] Step S313: Calculate the global adaptive soft threshold thr based on the noise standard deviation according to the VisuShrink criterion. The specific formula is as follows:

[0074] ;

[0075] Where N is the total number of wavelet coefficients. σ is the global adaptive soft threshold, and σ is the noise standard deviation.

[0076] Step S32: Noise components are filtered out from the wavelet coefficient matrix based on a globally adaptive soft threshold to obtain the denoised BIMF1 layer, specifically including:

[0077] Step S321: Noise components in the wavelet coefficient matrix are filtered out using a global adaptive soft threshold to obtain a noise-free coefficient matrix. The specific formula is as follows:

[0078] ;

[0079] in, C is the noise-free coefficient matrix, and C is the wavelet coefficient matrix. It is a globally adaptive soft threshold.

[0080] Step S322: For the noise-free coefficient matrix Wavelet inverse reconstruction is performed to obtain the denoised BIMF1 layer.

[0081] Step S4: Overlay and reconstruct the denoised BIMF1 layer, intermediate layer, and residual layer to obtain the denoised side-scan sonar image. The specific formula is as follows:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, This is a side-scan sonar image after noise reduction. This is the BIMF1 layer after noise reduction. This is the i-th two-dimensional intrinsic mode component layer. The m-1 two-dimensional intrinsic mode component layers are called intermediate layers. It is a residual layer.

[0084] This invention calculates the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PNSR) of the denoised side-scan sonar image to evaluate the image denoising effect. The specific formula is as follows:

[0085] ;

[0086] ;

[0087] in, Peak signal-to-noise ratio, Let be the mean square error of the denoised side-scan sonar image, and M and N be the length and width of the denoised side-scan sonar image, respectively. Let be the pixel value in the i-th row and j-th column of the noisy side-scan sonar image. is the pixel value of the i-th row and j-th column of the side-scan sonar image after noise reduction.

[0088] This invention can clearly evaluate the image denoising effect using the signal-to-noise ratio. Other methods can also be used to evaluate the image denoising effect, but specific examples are not given here.

[0089] The method disclosed in this invention uses a fast two-dimensional empirical mode decomposition method for adaptive decomposition. Based on the set region size, it can quickly lock local extreme points, which greatly improves the computational efficiency. In order to avoid the problem of blunting the target edge of the side-scan sonar image due to the indiscriminate removal of the high-frequency BIMF1 layer in the traditional method, this invention performs visual shrinkage threshold filtering on the BIMF1 layer, which can eliminate image noise while maintaining the edge details of the image target.
