Specific embodiment
The thought of interleave in video processing procedure is applied to the research of medical image super-resolution by the present invention.Original adjacent It is inserted into a new slice in two CT slices, solves the problems, such as that adjacent two layers CT image has larger difference in partial structurtes.? Effect in lung's sagittal plane is as shown in Figure 1, and solid horizontal line is the original CT slice that actual scanning obtains, and horizontal dotted line is desirable The intermediate CT slice that interpolation obtains.Effect on cross section is as shown in Figure 2, and (a) indicates the image sequence of input, is (b) to need The middle slice sequence for wanting interpolation to generate.
The present invention carries out interlayer interpolation to CT image using based on light stream estimation registration information, but in Interpolation Process, Since the sports ground of light stream estimation is different, multiple pixels may be mapped to the same position in interpolation image in original image, thus Cause in interpolation image there are the region that no original image pixel-map arrives, that is, pixel lacks, such that interpolation There are said minuscule holes for image.So the present invention further repairs the interlayer slice that interpolation generates, interpolation graphs image quality is improved Amount.It can be repaired while keeping image structure information, but this method is difficult to ensure finds in practical applications Sample block be it is optimal, be easy to cause reparation error.It is synthesized using the weighted mean of multiple sample blocks to be repaired for filling The filling block in region.
The intrinsic self-similarity of CT image sequence provides a precondition to repair, and therefore, the present invention is being based on light On the basis of stream estimation carries out interlayer interpolation, the middle slice generated to interpolation carries out figure using the non local self-similarity of image As reparation, CT number of sections can be increased, improve CT image interlayer resolution ratio, so that the quality of MFSR CT image reconstruction is promoted, Patient is helped to obtain accurate diagnosing and treating in the case where not receiving unnecessary dose of radiation.
The present invention propose it is a kind of based on light stream estimation three dimensional CT interlayer image interpolation and repair algorithm.It is walked comprising three It is rapid: as shown in figure 11,
S1 estimates the corresponding relationship of pixel between model solution CT image contiguous slices by CLG-TV light stream;
S2 finds target position by the mapping function of corresponding relationship between pixel, and is gone out with image warpage mode come interpolation Middle slice;
S3, using the non local self-similarity of the intrinsic interframe of 4D-CT image, to the said minuscule hole generated in Interpolation Process and It is fuzzy to carry out image repair.
The interpolation CT slice that high quality can be quickly obtained by operating above, improves the interlayer resolution ratio of CT image.It calculates The entire frame of method is as shown in Figure 3, I1And I2It is the continuous CT image of two width of input, F is dense optical flow field, and f is correspondence between pixel The mapping function of relationship, IipIt is the interlayer image of synthesis, IsIt is an original Slice Sequence set, passes through non local self similarity Property obtain similar block matrix fill up pixel missing generate hole.
In S1, quickly due to the variation of human organ planform, if trace interval is longer, in different slices On might have bigger difference, therefore the big displacement optical flow field for solving CT image is a relatively difficult problem.In light In flow calculation methodologies, the data item in global (HS) algorithm is that the brightness conservation to single pixel point assumes that robustness is poor, But available dense optical flow field;Data item in (LK) algorithm of part is to the picture in the small neighbourhood near single pixel point The brightness conservation of vegetarian refreshments is assumed, has good robustness to noise, but can only obtain sparse optical flow field.
Full variation Optical flow estimation method based on CLG algorithm is can to solve the optical flow field of big displacement and have to noise The optical flow computation model of good robustness can be in the hope of during CLG-TV optical flow estimation is applied to CT image layer interpolation Solve the big displacement optical flow field between CT image contiguous slices.The present invention estimates model and its solution to CLG-TV light stream.Based on light The estimation in flow field is as shown in Figure 4, wherein, (vx,vy) be pixel (x, y) at light stream.
CLG algorithm will be expanded in its neighborhood single pixel point using brightness conservation hypothesis in Global Algorithm, smoothly Without modification, to obtain more accurate fine and close optical flow field.Model is estimated in CLG light stream are as follows:
Wherein, W (x, y) is the weight coefficient of each point in the neighborhood Ω centered on point (x, y), Ix、Iy、ItIt is pixel Partial derivative of the gray scale of point along the direction x, y, tIt is flat Sliding item.
For L in CLG light stream estimation model2Norm introduces the L to light stream to picture noise sensitive issue1Norm is about Beam makes to estimate that model has more robust noiseproof feature
The smooth strategy of bilateral filtering technology and anisotropy parameter is introduced simultaneously, relative to pervious optical flow estimation, this Item improves the influence that can weaken neighborhood territory pixel, preferably keeps image border, achievees the effect that protect side denoising.Add to data item Add bilateral filtering constraint and anisotropy regularization to enhance specific filling process, obtains the more accurate CLG- of calculated result Model is estimated in TV variation light stream:
In above formula,For data item, weight coefficient of the ω between data item and smooth item, bfw is indicated to data Item carries out smothing filtering, and region represents the scope of two-sided filter.Smooth item EsmoothUse the anisotropy of image-driven Invasin
Data itemIt is defined as follows:
Wherein, X=(x, y) is pixel coordinate, F=(vx,vy) be two-dimensional directional on light stream (direction x and the direction y), F0For the initial estimation of optical flow field.
During solving optical flow estimation, using texture structure decomposition method and by slightly to essence gaussian pyramid algorithm, Optical flow estimation can be avoided to be illuminated by the light the influence of variation to the full extent and realize the solution of big displacement optical flow field.To image Structural texture decomposition is carried out, input picture I is decomposed into the part I comprising image structure informationsWith include image texture information Part It,It=I-Is, due to ItIt there is no by shade, the influence blocked etc., by ItAs new input picture, just Beginningization F0.Secondly, the pyramid number of plies is determined by image sizeEach layer of light stream has It is the light stream that k+1 layers are transmitted to from the k layer of low precision,It is to be transmitted to from k layers K+1 layers of light stream increment.Alternating direction multipliers method (ADMM) iteratively faster is recycled to solve light stream, until k=n-1.Realization pair Optical flow estimation rapid solving effectively increases the efficiency of algorithm.
Fig. 5 shows the example that using CLG-TV light stream algorithm for estimating three width coronal-plane CT images are carried out with light stream estimation. Wherein reference picture and image a, image b are chosen from same CT image sequence, and light stream a is reference picture and image a Between local optical flow field, light stream b is the local optical flow field between reference picture and image b.Image a and reference picture displacement compared with Small (arrow indicating positions), image b and reference picture displacement are larger, this is consistent with the optical flow field of estimation.Illustrate that CLG-TV can Accurately estimate the big displacement optical flow field between CT image contiguous slices.
In S2, it is based on three-dimensional CT image interlayer Interpolation Process, the warpage operation in conventional method is introduced into method, Big offset issue can be effectively solved, reasonable interpolation result is obtained.Image warpage refers to each picture calculated in original image Element moves the mapping function between vector, realizes the displacement of pixel, to obtain target image.To between two images Middle layer to carry out the requirement of interpolation be that movement to generation carries out interpolation, the purpose is to make moving object along motion profile with one The appropriate mode of kind nature generates interpolation image, moves simultaneously for non-linear translation, and warpage can compensate some geometric distortions Problem.
The mapping function q of pixel is calculated by CLG-TV optical flow estimationi=f (pi), determine pixel p in former slicei's Target position qi, then using bilinear interpolation algorithm in qiRealize warpage operation in place.Since target position will appear non-integer feelings Condition then finds out target position qiWith it to angular neighborhood ND (qi) Euclidean distance ρ, selection make that the smallest pixel of Euclidean distance Point is used as insertion point.
ρ=(| x1-x2|2+|y1-y2|2)1/2 (6)
In S3, according to the difference of sports ground, multiple pixels of original image may be mapped to the same position in interpolation image It sets.On the other hand, there may be the regions that no original pixel is mapped in interpolation image, so as to cause occurring in interpolation image Said minuscule hole, as shown in Figure 6.I1And I2Indicate two continuous CT images of input, IipIt is the interlayer image of output, based on box Change the partial enlarged view in region.
In view of the above problems, the present invention uses the image restoration technology of block-based non local self-similarity.Due to medicine The self-similarity of image can find the CONSTRUCTED SPECIFICATION of missing on other existing slices, then middle slice is divided At the fritter of many overlappings, the image block repaired for each needs can be cut using the information of its surrounding neighbors at other On piece finds matching similar block, then solves optimization problem and obtains optimal similar block matrix to fill up missing Pixel finally reconstructs details middle slice abundant.As shown in fig. 7, the target image block on intermediate interpolated slice can lead to It crosses and finds L most like similar block from the image block (in frame) on other n × N number of existing slice to estimate.
In Fig. 7, original image is sliced by methodN is of CT image sequence Number, n is sequence IpIn former slice sum, and the middle slice I obtained based on light stream registration interpolation methodipAccording to step-length d points It is not divided into M mutually overlapping image blocks Indicate sliceIn i-th of vectorization image block, often The size of a block is m × m.ForIn image blockUsing block-matching technique and based on the similitude of Euclidean distance Measurement criterion, fromMiddle searchSimilar block, for the ease of discuss, by xiIt is set as the interlayer slice that interpolation obtains Image block,It is the image block on other slices.The judgment basis of similitude is:
T is threshold value.According to similarity measurement criterion choose withL most like image block is as column vector, construction pair The group matrix H answeredj, that is:
HjIt can also be with representing matrix PjWith noise matrix NjThe sum of:
Hj=Pj+Nj. (9)
NjIt can be regarded as the additive noise that standard deviation is σ.H is replaced with H and PjAnd Pj.Singular value point is carried out to H and P It solves (SVD):
Wherein, U is left singular vector, and V is right singular vector, and Σ is the diagonal matrix of a r × r, the member on diagonal line Element is exactly the singular value of matrix.Due to highly relevant between the column vector of matrix P, therefore matrix P is low-rank matrix, order R (P) < r.The value of P is obtained using minimum variance estimate (MVE) method
If known to P, then objective function above is set to the derivative of M as zero, available following result
M=(H*H)-1H*P. (13)
So minimum variance estimate of P is
BecauseDiagonal entry λ12,……,λkIt is non-zero positive integer, therefore
(15) are substituted into (14), so that it may obtain ideal matrix in the hope of solutionThen the matrix acquired is utilizedHandle interpolation The said minuscule hole of generation, the image block for needing to repair can be indicated by its non local similar block weighting
xiIt is the image block to be repaired,It is and xiL most like similar block,It is weighting coefficient
τ is an adjusting parameter, the decaying of its control exponential function.
CT interpolation image (Fig. 8 first row, original image and part before repairing can be effectively repaired by similar block-matching technique Enlarged drawing), obtain the good CT image of visual effect (Fig. 8 secondary series, original image and partial enlarged view after reparation).Due to image Block be it is mutually overlapping, may result in this block region to be processed and obtain multiple pixel estimated values, herein to each pixel Different estimated values takes average weighted method.
University of Texas Anderson Cancer center DIR- is based on by practical application using method of the present invention The public data collection that the laboratory lab provides, the interlamellar spacing of data are 2.5mm.Therefrom having chosen interlamellar spacing is the continuous lung of 2.5mm CT image, these CT images include coronal-plane, cross section.Wherein, the image size in lung cross section is 560 × 420, coronal-plane Image size be 664 × 498.In experiment, due to being limited by factors such as medical device, sweep times, it can not be sliced The smaller CT data of spacing.Therefore, the interlayer image that interpolation obtains carries out visual evaluation and root-mean-square error using error image (RMSE) it carries out algorithm quantitatively evaluating and lacks true picture (Ground Truth) foundation.So CT slice is chosen to carry out in interval Emulation experiment, for example three continuous CT slices are chosen, by first and third CT slice as input, second CT slice module Intend true interlayer slice.Table 1 gives the running environment of algorithm.
1 algorithm running environment of table
In order to be quantitatively evaluated, interpolation error (interpolation error, IE), i.e. true picture are defined (Ground Truth)IGTImage and estimation interpolation image IipRoot-mean-square error (RMSE),
Wherein, M × N is image size, and root-mean-square error is defined according to mean square error (MSE)
MSE is the range deviation that estimated value deviates true value.Therefore, root-mean-square error can be used to measure interpolation image with Error size between true picture.The value of RMSE is smaller, and it is higher accurate to illustrate that the new images of experiment interpolation generation have Degree, closer to true CT image.
Specific parameter is set as, and in light stream solution procedure, the weight coefficient ω between data item and smooth item is set The bigger confidence level for indicating data item of value for being set to 50, ω is higher.The scope region of two-sided filter is set as 7 × 7, Minwidth is set as 20, can be good at solving big displacement light stream estimation problem, the average optical flow computation time is 4.052s.
Image repair process is mainly influenced by four key parameters: the size m of image block, organizes the columns L of matrix H, mark Quasi- difference σ, step-length d.Wherein the size m of image block influences the result of image repair most deep.The size of image block is smaller more advantageous It in acquisition partial structurtes details, but will affect the selection of missing pixel surrounding neighbors size, lead to the estimation inaccuracy of similar block, Reduce the performance and effect of algorithm;The big image block of size available more image informations carry out similitude matching, but Higher calculating cost may be generated, based on the above analysis, in order to be weighed between algorithm performance and accuracy, takes m =16, σ=40, L=60, d=4, available quality preferably repair interpolation image.
It, can be with by above-mentioned experiment method, and using the three dimensional CT interlayer image interpolation restorative procedure estimated based on light stream Realize the middle slice that high quality is inserted between continuous two slices of CT image.Interpolation result of the present invention is as shown in Figure 9, chooses Three groups of not homotactic continuous tomography example (a, b, c) CT slices, each group of outer frame is that the continuous CT of four width of input is sliced, in frame Part is sliced for the three width middle layers generated by this method interpolation, and arrow, which is directed toward, changes obvious region.CT image outer profile becomes It is coherent to change nature, arrow direction regional change is continuous, the effect that can be seamlessly transitted.
In terms of visual evaluation, randomly selects the CT that three width pixel sizes are 560 × 420 and has been sliced (Figure 10 the first row), Middle layer slice is used as Ground Truth.Figure 10 is illustrated to be calculated using TV-L1 optical flow algorithm, the interpolation based on path respectively Method, shape based interpolation algorithm, this method realize the interlayer interpolation result to upper layer slice a and lower layer slice b in Figure 10. It is image Main change region in frame.
By comparison, it can be found that, the effect for the middle slice that inventive algorithm interpolation generates is better than TV-L1 algorithm and base Similar with the algorithm effect based on path in the algorithm of shape, main portions change nature and link up, and it is preferable can to generate quality Middle slice.Compared to the algorithm based on path, inventive algorithm time complexity is reduced, while in terms of handling larger displacement More acurrate clearly effect can be obtained.In order to preferably carry out visual comparison, Figure 10 gives four kinds of algorithms in Figure 10 Upper layer slice a and lower layer slice b interpolation go out middle slice and true interlayer image error image comparison diagram (Figure 10 third Row), it can be seen that inventive algorithm illustrates that inventive algorithm can accurately carry out CT image layer and interleave closest to true picture Value.
True picture is more connect in order to verify the middle slice that inventive algorithm interpolation obtains, present invention introduces IE evaluation indexes Quantitatively evaluating is carried out to the picture quality after reconstruction.For this 4 kinds of algorithms, three groups of lung CT images are had chosen, in each group There is the continuous CT slice of three width, regard original middle layer slice as true picture, upper layer and lower layer slice is calculated separately as input The RMSE value of middle slice and true picture that these four algorithm interpolation generate, as shown in table 2.
2 algorithms of different interlayer of table is sliced compared with the RMSE that original CT is sliced
From Figure 10 and table 2 as can be seen, no matter from visual effect or from the point of view of referring specifically to scale value, inventive algorithm is taken The result better than other algorithms was obtained, is especially changing greatly region, inventive algorithm has obtained clearer structural information. Therefore, the three dimensional CT interlayer image that inventive algorithm interpolation generates is more accurate, has been effectively maintained edge and local message, layer Interpolation effect is more preferable.
