acquiring an image to be processed, and preprocessing the image to be processed to obtain a target image to be processed;
and processing the target image to be processed through the trained dense connection denoising convolutional neural network model to obtain a denoised image.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the constructing a dense connection denoising convolutional neural network model specifically includes: the dense connection denoising convolutional neural network model comprises eight dense connection convolutional blocks, and the four-channel image is used as the input of the network to process the dense connection convolutional blocks; in the first four blocks, each block is subjected to down sampling, and in the last four blocks, the result with the same size is connected with the previous result to be subjected to up sampling, and then the block processing is carried out; and finally outputting the 3-channel RGB image.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, each densely connected convolutional block includes four convolutional layers, each convolutional layer is connected to each convolutional layer after it by jumping within the block, the last convolutional layer is 1 × 1 convolutional layer, and the output of the 1 × 1 convolutional layer is added to the input of the block to obtain the output of the current densely connected convolutional block.
Preferably, the combination of blocks of different sizes is 1/2 times downsampled each time from the size of the input block and finally 2 times upsampled each time until the size of the input is returned, in the same size block, the output of the previous block being connected to the following block.
In this embodiment, the training of the dense connection denoising convolutional neural network model specifically includes:
constructing an experiment training data set, wherein the data set comprises a plurality of groups of exposure images, and each group of exposure images comprises a short exposure image and a long exposure image of the same scene; i.e. a sample set of images uploaded by the user, each set of exposure images comprises a short exposure image and a long exposure image of the same scene. The short-exposure image of the same scene refers to an image shot under the condition that the shot scene, light conditions (such as backlight, taillight, dark light and the like), exposure time, light sensitivity, exposure amount and the like are the same, and the long-exposure image of the same scene refers to an image shot under the shooting condition that the short-exposure image is the same and other conditions are obviously better than those of the short-exposure image; and training an experimental training data set by using the constructed dense connection convolution neural network model, wherein a loss function is an average value of absolute values of differences between a network output result and a long exposure image, and a training target is the minimum loss function.

In particular, the terminal may convert the channel mode of the acquired image to be processed into a plurality of single-color channel images by calling a preset function. The channels that hold color information for an image are called color channels, and each color channel holds information for a color element in the image. A color channel image composed of information of only one color element is a single color channel image. For example, in an RGB mode image, R is a red channel, G is a green channel, and B is a blue channel.
For example, an Image to be processed acquired by the terminal is an original Image (RAW), that is, unprocessed and uncompressed original Image information, and at this time, the terminal invokes a preset function to convert a multi-color single-channel mode of the original Image into a plurality of single-color channel images. Specifically, the terminal extracts each color in the original image through a called preset function and generates a plurality of single-color channel images.

Fig. 4 is an image denoised by the existing method, and fig. 5 is an image denoised by the method of the present embodiment.
