The automatic focusing of microscope is generally divided into rough focusing and finely two stages of focusing.It is micro- in the rough focusing stage The position of mirror objective table is often far from focal position, for quick close focal position, it usually needs uses big step-length rough focusing. In order to guarantee to reach focal position, sharpness evaluation function at this time must have sufficiently wide steep area to avoid because of step Long excessive focusing failure caused by crossing steep area.In the finely focusing stage, generally requires and obtained accurately using small step-length Focal position, sharpness evaluation function at this time, which should have sufficiently high sensitivity, could obtain most accurate focal position.
Currently, there are two main classes for most widely used sharpness evaluation function: gradient function and statistical function.Based on gradient The sharpness evaluation function of function, such as the sum of grey scale difference absolute value (SMD), Brenner function, gradient of image and gray scale energy letter The functions such as number (Tenengrad), Laplce's energy (EOL), their sensitivity is good, but steep area is narrow, is not suitable for big Range rough focusing;The calculation amount of the statistical functions such as gray variance is small, possesses wider steep area, and the monotonicity in shoulder It is good, however, its poor sensitivity, it is burnt not to be suitable for small range accurate adjustment.In order to solve this problem, the image of some coarse-fine combinations is automatic Focus method uses different sharpness evaluation functions in thick, thin two focusing stages respectively.However, the property of these focus methods The influence of focusing strategy can be will receive, such as the selection of step-length, the search strategy in rough focusing stage.Therefore, at present still without one Kind sharpness evaluation function can be achieved at the same time quickly big step-length rough focusing and small step-length and finely focus, that is, both have sufficiently wide Steep area possess sufficiently high sensitivity again.

Specific embodiment
In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, below to specific implementation of the invention Mode is further elaborated.
Step 1: the original image of input rgb format, and it is converted into Lab color space, respectively obtain luminance graph IL With two Color Channel figures: Color Channel figure IaWith Color Channel figure Ib
Step 2: the grey scale change value of original image is obtained, specifically, by calculating luminance graph I with minor functionLGray scale Variance FVar:
Wherein,For ILGray average, (x, y) be pixel position.
Step 3: obtaining the partial gradient value of original image, detailed process is as follows:
(3.1) respectively to Color Channel figure IaWith Color Channel figure IbIn the gray scale of each pixel carry out mean value and normalizing Change operation, then operating result linear superposition is obtained into color notable figure S.
It is the background interference in order to eliminate the large area in medical microscopic images that (3.1.1), which removes averaging operation, and formula is such as Under:
Wherein,WithRespectively Color Channel figure IaWith Color Channel figure IbGray average, | | be absolute value sign, I′aWith I 'bRespectively Color Channel figure IaWith Color Channel figure IbImage after removing averaging operation.When being carried on the back in medical microscopic images When scene area area is much larger than target area area, in the color channel image after removing averaging operation, background area be will be close to Zero, and target area is much larger than zero because having a significant color difference with background area.Therefore, averaging operation is gone to be conducive to disappear Interference except background area to focusing.
(3.1.2) is respectively to I 'aWith I 'bOperation is normalized, obtains normalized image NaWith normalized image Nb
Na(x, y)=N (I 'a(x, y))
Nb(x, y)=N (I 'b(x, y))
Wherein, N () is normalized function, and formula is as follows:
Wherein, max () and min () is respectively maximum value and minimum value function.Image N after normalizationaAnd NbPixel Gray scale interval will expand to [0,255], increase the color contrast of target area and background area, to further eliminate back Scape interference.
(3.1.3) passes through following formula for normalized image NaWith normalized image NbLinear superposition obtains color notable figure S:
(3.2) partial gradient value is calculated to pixel each in the resulting color notable figure of above step, specifically, statistics is worked as Preceding pixel transverse direction, longitudinal and the pixel grey scale absolute value of the difference on two tilted directions product;
G (x, y)=[| S (x+2, y)-S (x, y) | × | S (x, y+2)-S (x, y) |] ×
[| S (x+1, y+1)-S (x, y) | × | S (x-1, y+1)-S (x, y) |]
Wherein, | S (x+2, y)-S (x, y) | and | S (x, y+2)-S (x, y) | it is respectively used to extract horizontal direction and Vertical Square To gradient value, | S (x+1, y+1)-S (x, y) | and | S (x-1, y+1)-S (x, y) | be respectively used to extract oblique and anti-slanting Gradient value.Therefore, G (x, y) combines the gradient value of four direction, can more comprehensively reflect the partial gradient variation of each pixel.
(3.3) in order to reduce the interference of ambient noise, only the sum of the functional value of statistics greater than thresholding T is as input picture Partial gradient value:
FGrad=∑ [G (x, y) > T]
In this step, it is preferable that T is set as 10.
Step 4: by variation of image grayscale value FVarWith local gradient value FGradIt is multiplied, obtains final image definition F:
F=FVar×FGrad
When from focal position farther out, the partial gradient variation of image is unobvious, and slight fluctuations state is presented;And global ash Degree variation is more obvious, is in apparent monotonicity.The change rate of F is by F at this timeVarIt is leading, therefore, the precipitous sector width of F close to FVarPrecipitous sector width.When Range Focusing position is more and more closer, the detailed information such as edge, texture of image are gradually enriched, office Portion's change of gradient is much larger than global grey scale change, at this point, the change rate of F is mainly by FGradIt determines, and the change rate of F is greater than FGrad, Therefore the sensitivity of F is more preferable.
The medical microscopic images clarity evaluation method of coarse-fine focusing of the invention first turns the RGB color image of input It is changed to Lab color space;Then grey scale change value is obtained by the gray variance of statistics luminance graph L, using Color Channel figure a and Color Channel figure b obtains notable figure, and obtains the partial gradient value of notable figure;Finally, by grey scale change value and local gradient value It is multiplied, obtains final image definition.Method proposed by the present invention comprehensively considers the global grey scale change and part ladder of image Degree variation, not only has wider steep area but also sensitivity with higher, and a kind of sharpness evaluation function is used only can be same When finely focus for big step-length rough focusing and small step-length.
