Description

Wavelet domain light field full-focusing image generation algorithm
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of full-focus image fusion, and particularly relates to a wavelet domain light field full-focus image generation algorithm.
Background
With the rise of the new subject field of computational photography and the development of the optical field imaging theory, the optical field camera becomes a focus of attention in many fields in China and abroad in the last decade. Compared with the traditional camera, the micro-lens light field camera is added with the micro-lens array behind the main lens and simultaneously records the position and direction information of space light rays. The recording of the multi-dimensional light field information provides convenience for the processing and application of the later images of the light field camera, such as digital refocusing, full focus image generation, depth information calculation and the like by using the light field camera. The light field camera can calculate refocused images of any depth in space after single photographing, and is the most prominent technical bright point for the light field camera to pay attention to generally. Based on the method, the acquisition of high-quality texture images of various light fields and the calculation of high-precision depth information are deeply researched. Because the method is not limited by the fact that a traditional camera obtains multi-focus images through multi-focusing shooting, the full-focus image fusion based on the light field digital refocusing technology becomes an important branch application of the light field camera, and the method is also significant for super-resolution reconstruction of later texture images and depth images and generation of light field video files.
At present, the full-focus fusion of the traditional image is mainly divided into a spatial domain and a transform domain, the spatial domain is subjected to definition evaluation based on pixels or blocks, and pixels with good quality are extracted from different images to form a full-focus image, so that the calculation time is fast, but the block effect problem exists. The transformation domain decomposes the image into sub-images of different resolution layers or different frequency bands, and a refocusing image is constructed by evaluating and reconstructing the resolution layers or the sub-images, so that the blocking effect can be effectively avoided. As a common method of transform domain, wavelet transform decomposes an image to be fused into a series of frequency channels, high-frequency and low-frequency sub-images are constructed by utilizing a decomposed tower-shaped structure, and the high-frequency and low-frequency sub-images are fused respectively and then are subjected to wavelet inverse transform to obtain a full-focus image. The quality of the wavelet transformation fusion image is determined by the selection of the fusion rule of the high-frequency sub-image and the low-frequency sub-image: for low-frequency sub-images, fusion is generally realized by adopting a mean value calculation method; for the high-frequency sub-images, a Sobel operator, a Prewitt operator, a Laplacian operator and the like are often adopted for evaluation to establish a fusion rule.
The second derivatives of the traditional Laplacian in the x direction and the y direction are likely to have opposite signs, the anti-noise capability of the existing Laplacian algorithm is low, and the micro-lens calibration error can cause a refocused image to generate local noise. In addition, the conventional low-frequency signal fusion weighted average method can reduce the contrast of the fused image and lose some useful information in the original image.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems that the contrast of a shot image of the existing civil light field camera is not high, the resolution of a multi-focus image set obtained by a digital refocusing technology is limited, and local noise caused by a calibration error exists, and provides a wavelet domain-based light field full-focus image generation algorithm.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: the wavelet domain light field full-focus image generation algorithm is realized according to the following steps:
step 1): decoding the data of the original image of the light field to obtain a 4D light field, and selecting different alphan(n-1, 2,3 …) and obtaining refocused images of different spatial depths using digital refocusing techniques

and 4) performing inverse wavelet transform on the high and low frequency coefficients to obtain a fused full focus image.
Further, the BL operator used in step 3) is an area-balanced laplacian operator, and an expression of the operator is as follows:

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
As shown in fig. 1, the specific process of the algorithm is as follows:
step 1) the 4D light field is obtained after the light field original image is subjected to data decoding,selecting different alphan(n-1, 2,3 …) and obtaining refocused images of different spatial depths using digital refocusing techniques
Figure BDA0001843520970000032
Step 2) calculating wavelet high and low frequency sub-images of each frame of refocusing image
Figure BDA0001843520970000033
Step 3) fusing high and low frequency coefficients by respectively adopting a BL operator and a PV function as image fusion definition evaluation indexes;
and 4) finally, obtaining the fused full focus image through wavelet inverse transformation.
The specific process of step 1) is as follows: according to the biplane parameterized model of the light field, as shown in fig. 2, any light ray in space can be determined by the intersection point of the light ray and the two planes, the main lens plane of the light field camera is set as (u, v) plane, the sensor plane is set as (x, y) plane, and the 4D light field recorded by the light field camera is set as LF(x, y, u, v), the integral image of the focal plane of the all-optical camera can be obtained by the classical optical radiation formula:
Figure BDA0001843520970000041
where F denotes the distance between the main lens plane and the focal plane, and X Y U V denotes the 4D light field matrix LF(x, y, u, v). If the image plane is shifted from F to F', the new 4D light field matrix is LF′(x ', y', u ', v'), where the camera focal plane refocused image is represented as:
Figure BDA0001843520970000042
let F' be alphanF, taking a section of the 4D space to obtain the geometric relationship between the coordinates for the convenience of graphical representation, as shown in FIG. 3. According to the principle of similar triangle, canThe coordinates of the obtained new light field and the original light field meet the following requirements:
x′＝u+(x-u)·αn＝αn·x+(1-αn)·u (3)
u′＝u (4)
the same can obtain:
y′＝v+(y-v)·αn＝αn·y+(1-αn)·v (5)
v′＝v (6)
equations (3) - (6) can be expressed in matrix form:
Figure BDA0001843520970000043
wherein, [ x ', y', u ', v']TRepresents a line vector [ x ', y', u ', v']The transpose of (a) is performed,
Figure BDA0001843520970000044
the coordinate transformation matrix is expressed in the following specific form:
Figure BDA0001843520970000045
equation (7) is also equivalent to the following equation:
Figure BDA0001843520970000046
according to equation (9), equation (2) can be rewritten as:
Figure BDA0001843520970000047
changing alphanThe purpose of changing the position of the image plane can be achieved, and then refocusing pictures with different spatial depths are obtained.
The specific process of step 2) is as follows: according to the wavelet transform image fusion theory, decomposing an image to be fused into a series of frequency channels through wavelet transform, and constructing high-frequency and low-frequency sub-images by utilizing the decomposed tower-shaped structure, wherein the process can be described as follows:
Figure BDA0001843520970000051
Figure BDA0001843520970000052
wherein (x, y) represents an image coordinate system, (i, j) represents a wavelet domain coordinate system, W [ ·]Representing wavelet tower decomposition operators, WH[·]Extraction of high-frequency coefficients (high-frequency subimages), W, after wavelet pyramid decompositionL[·]Low frequency coefficients (low frequency subimages) are extracted after the wavelet tower type decomposition is represented.
The BL operator adopted in the step 3) is a region balance Laplacian operator, and the expression of the operator is as follows:
Figure BDA0001843520970000053
wherein sxt represents equalization region size, and S, T can only take odd numbers; s and t represent second derivative step length in the horizontal and vertical directions;
Figure BDA0001843520970000054
and representing a weight factor, wherein the closer the point to the central point, the larger the weight factor is, the larger the contribution to the Laplace operator value is, and conversely, the farther the point to the central point, the smaller the contribution to the Laplace operator value is. Fig. 4 shows the equalized laplacian operator when S is 5 and T is 5.
The high-frequency sub-image of the wavelet transform reflects the brightness abrupt change characteristic of the image, namely the boundary characteristic, the Laplacian can sharpen the boundary and lines in any trend, the isotropy characteristic is kept, and the method is widely used for evaluating the definition of the high-frequency sub-image. Aiming at the condition that the signs of the second derivatives of the Laplace operator in the x direction and the y direction are opposite most possibly, and meanwhile, the influence of peripheral points on the definition evaluation function of the current position is fully considered, the invention provides the area equalization Laplace operator, and the energy equalization is realized by increasing the number and the direction of the second derivatives.
Considering the defects that microlens calibration errors can cause a refocused image to generate local noise and a Laplacian is sensitive to the noise, bilateral filtering preprocessing is performed before high-frequency sub-images are fused, and the high-frequency coefficient fusion rule based on the area equalization Laplacian of the invention is as follows:
Figure BDA0001843520970000055
wherein,
Figure BDA0001843520970000056
representing respective high-frequency sub-images of refocusing images with different spatial depths after wavelet decomposition, wherein N is 1,2, 3. N, and N represents the frame number of the refocusing images participating in the fusion of the full-focus images; d (BL)αn(i, j)) represents the difference of the balanced laplacian operator of the corresponding point of any 2 high-frequency subimages; max [. C]、min[·]The maximum value and the minimum value are taken; HH is a self-defined threshold (the HH is 0.1, because the difference value of the two balanced Laplacian values is smaller and can be ignored when the difference value is smaller than 0.1), when the minimum value of the difference value is larger than the threshold, the high-frequency coefficient corresponding to the balanced Laplacian value with the maximum energy in the N-frame images is taken as a fusion coefficient, and when the difference value of the two difference values is smaller than the threshold, the final fusion coefficient is determined by multiplying the high-frequency coefficients of the multiple frames of images by a weight factor, wherein the weight factor is used for determining the final fusion coefficient
Figure BDA0001843520970000061
And 2) obtaining a low-frequency coefficient by the medium and small wave tower type decomposition, wherein the low-frequency coefficient mainly reflects the average gray characteristic of the original image. The simplest method of calculating the low frequency fusion coefficients is weighted averaging, but weighted averaging reduces the contrast of the fused image and loses some useful information in the original image. In addition, some methods of calculating gradients, such as a spatial frequency method, a point sharpness operator, and the like, are also applied to the calculation of the low-frequency fusion coefficient. In the light field Image low-frequency coefficient fusion of the present invention, the concept of Image Visibility (VI) based on human visual characteristics is used for reference, and is defined as follows:
Figure BDA0001843520970000062
where P × Q represents the size of the image I (I, j);
Figure BDA0001843520970000063
represents the average value of the image I (I, j); and gamma represents a visual constant, the value range of gamma is 0.6-0.7, and the larger the value of VI is, the higher the image visibility is represented.
In the process of fusing low-frequency sub-images, if the formula (15) is directly adopted for calculation, only the VI value of the whole image can be obtained, and the method cannot be used for region-level or pixel-level fusion of a plurality of images. In order to reasonably establish an effective low-frequency coefficient evaluation index, the formula (15) is improved, and a Pixel visibility function (PV) is established, wherein the specific expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0001843520970000064
the S multiplied by T represents a rectangular neighborhood taking the current pixel point as the center, and S, T can only take odd numbers; s and t represent scanning steps in the horizontal and vertical directions in the rectangular neighborhood;
Figure BDA0001843520970000065
the mean gray value of the pixels of the S × T region is represented. In the low-frequency coefficient fusion process, the same fusion rule as the high-frequency coefficient is adopted.
And finally, performing wavelet inverse transformation on the fused high-low frequency coefficient to obtain a fused full-focus image.
The wavelet domain light field full-focus image generation algorithm of the invention is described in detail above, and the validity of the algorithm is verified by specific examples below.
The invention adopts an original image shot by the Lytro light field camera to carry out experiments. Fig. 5(a) shows a light field original, and fig. 5(b), (c), and (d) show three multi-focus images with different spatial depths calculated according to equation (10) when α is 0.52, α is 0.78, and α is 0.98, respectively, and the focal depth gradually changes from the foreground to the background. Fig. 5(e) is the full-focus image calculated by the method of the present invention, the definition of the area framed by the red dotted line is significantly higher than that of the area corresponding to the image (b), the definition of the area framed by the yellow dotted line is significantly higher than that of the area corresponding to the image (c), and the definition of the area framed by the white dotted line is significantly higher than that of the area corresponding to the image (d).
In order to visually evaluate the advantages of the algorithm provided by the invention, three classical wavelet transform-based image fusion methods (Sobel algorithm, Prewitt algorithm and Laplace algorithm) are selected for comparison with the algorithm provided by the invention, and three groups of light field original images (Flower, Forest and Zither) are adopted as experimental data.
Fig. 6, 7, and 8 show the results of the corresponding experiments: the (a) and (b) of each image are refocused images obtained when the three light field original images correspond to alpha being 1 and alpha being 2 respectively, and the focusing depth is converted from the foreground to the background; FIGS. 6-8 (c), (d), (e), (f) are full focus images obtained by Sobel algorithm, Prewitt algorithm, conventional Laplace algorithm, and the algorithm of the present invention. From the visual effect, the definition of the fused image obtained by the Sobel algorithm and the Prewitt algorithm in the rectangular area framed by the dotted line in the image is obviously inferior to that of the fused image obtained by the Sobel algorithm and the Prewitt algorithm in the algorithm of the invention; the definition of the Sobel algorithm and the Prewitt algorithm in the area enclosed by the dotted line in FIG. 7 is obviously inferior to that of the algorithm of the present invention; FIG. 8 shows that the clarity of the area (check the position of the dashed box) framed by the dashed line corresponding to the plant leaves fused by the Prewitt algorithm is also significantly inferior to the algorithm of the present invention; the light field full-focusing image fusion method provided by the invention has certain advantages in visual effect.
In addition, in consideration of the visual limitation of human eyes, the invention further selects objective evaluation indexes to evaluate the image quality, and verifies the superiority of the algorithm. The method selects information entropy (E), Average Gradient (AG), image definition (FD) and Edge Intensity (EI) as evaluation indexes respectively, and evaluates the quality of the full focus image obtained by a plurality of methods in the images 6, 7 and 8.
Where E is a physical quantity that measures the size of information, and a larger value indicates a larger amount of image information. The higher the value of the contrast ability of AG sensitive response image to the tiny details, the stronger its ability to represent it. FD represents the degree of image clarity, and the higher the value, the better the clarity. The EI reflects the edge intensity of the image, and the higher the value, the sharper the representative image edge, and the results of the specific evaluation index correspondence are shown in tables 1,2, and 3.
The data in the comparison table show that the algorithm is superior to other three traditional wavelet transformation methods in four objective evaluation indexes of the image, and the feasibility and the effectiveness of the algorithm are reflected.
