Description

Image enhancement method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to an image enhancement method and system.
Background
Unmanned aerial vehicle aerial photography is widely applied to many outdoor vision systems such as traffic monitoring and environmental monitoring. Because the weather environment in general mountain area is comparatively abominable, fog environment possibility is very high, and the picture of directly shooting from unmanned aerial vehicle is comparatively unclear, has image noise.
The invention patent application with publication number CN 108460743 a discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle aerial image defogging algorithm based on a dark channel, which obtains a dark channel image according to a color foggy image, obtains a global atmospheric light component a from the dark channel image, obtains a coarse transmittance map according to the dark channel image, down-samples the coarse transmittance map, guides filtering, up-samples the coarse transmittance map to obtain a fine transmittance map, obtains an initial defogged image according to the fine transmittance map and the global atmospheric light component a, and finally performs local contrast enhancement on the initial defogged image by using a contrast-limiting adaptive histogram equalization, so that the problem that the image is darker after defogging in the dark channel is solved, and local information of an original image is highlighted for subsequent image processing work.
The image is defogged by adopting a dark primary color prior method, the influence of fog is essentially removed, and the detail information of the image is enhanced, but the brightness of a target scene is usually not as good as that of atmospheric light, so that the overall restored image is darker and the visual effect is poor. The application improves the image brightness through local contrast enhancement, and the effect is relatively harsh. In order to retain image edge and detail information and enable the processed image effect to be more obvious, the prior art provides an image defogging method combining wavelet transformation and an atmospheric dissipation function by utilizing the conclusion that fog mainly affects the low-frequency region of an image. Firstly, performing first-level wavelet decomposition on a fog-containing image by utilizing the characteristic that fog mainly affects a low-frequency region of the image, and performing defogging treatment on a low-frequency sub-image; and then, taking the defogged image as a new low-frequency sub-image, and performing wavelet fusion with the high-frequency sub-image to obtain a final defogged image. The method can well eliminate the white edge phenomenon of the field depth mutation area and has a good processing effect. However, the method does not process the high-frequency area, so that the detail information of the image is not enhanced, and the detail processing effect is poor.
Therefore, how to implement detail enhancement and natural-effect image enhancement processing is a problem to be solved in the field.

The invention is further described with reference to the following drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment proposes an image enhancement method, including:
s1, carrying out wavelet decomposition on the collected fog-containing image to obtain a low-frequency component corresponding to the fog-containing image;
for images containing fog, the fog affects mainly the low frequency parts of the image. Therefore, the invention firstly carries out wavelet decomposition on the collected fog-containing image to obtain the low-frequency component corresponding to the fog-containing image, and processes the low-frequency component of the fog-containing image, thereby reducing the data processing amount and improving the processing efficiency while ensuring the image defogging effect. The wavelet decomposition process of the fog-containing image mainly carries out filtering processing on the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the image, and then samples the image, thereby obtaining the result of image decomposition. The wavelet basis functions include haar (haar) wavelets, daubechies (dbn) wavelets, symlets (symn) wavelets, etc., and the present invention is not limited to specific wavelet decompositions.
S2, performing wavelet reconstruction on the low-frequency component corresponding to the fog-containing image to obtain a low-frequency sub-image corresponding to the fog-containing image;
the invention carries out defogging on the low-frequency part of the fog-containing image, so that after the low-frequency part of the fog-containing image is obtained through wavelet decomposition, the low-frequency part is processed through wavelet reconstruction, and a low-frequency sub-image corresponding to the fog-containing image containing the low-frequency part is reconstructed.
S3, estimating an atmospheric dissipation function based on the low-frequency sub-image, and estimating an atmospheric light value and medium transmittance based on the atmospheric dissipation function;
for the low-frequency sub-image containing fog, the optical model is as follows:

For the atmospheric light value, in the region with the most dense fog or the sky region in the atmospheric dissipation function graph, the brightness value of the atmospheric dissipation function is approximate to the estimated value of the atmospheric light value, so that the maximum brightness value of the atmospheric dissipation function is the atmospheric light value. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the influence of noise, the present invention does not directly select the maximum luminance value, but selects the average value of the first 0.2% luminance values as the atmospheric light value a. At the same time, utilize

Thus, for a defogged image

It is calculated as:
Figure 505183DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
therefore, after the atmospheric dissipation function, the atmospheric light value and the medium transmittance are estimated, the defogging low-frequency sub-image is generated according to the calculation of the company.
S5, obtaining a first defogged image of the defogged image by adopting a dark channel prior defogging method;
in a local area, mostly less non-sky, there are always some small blocks (at least one) of pixels, whose luminance is very low in one or several color channels, close to 0, called dark primaries. The influence of fog is essentially removed by dark channel prior defogging, and the image detail information is enhanced, so that the defogging low-frequency sub-image is generated by utilizing wavelet decomposition and an atmospheric dissipation function, and the first defogged image of the defogged image is obtained by adopting a dark channel prior defogging method, namely, all information in the defogged image is enhanced by the dark channel prior defogging method.

for the first defogged image, it includes enhanced image detail information. The high-frequency sub-images reflect detailed information such as edges and textures of the images, the low-frequency sub-images correspond to regions with slow brightness change in the images and reflect overall information of the images, and a common dark primary color prior method has the problems that the overall restored images are dark and the visual effect is poor.

the invention extracts the high-frequency part of the first defogged image, so that after the high-frequency part of the first defogged image is obtained through wavelet decomposition, the high-frequency part is processed through wavelet reconstruction, and a high-frequency sub-image corresponding to the first defogged image containing the high-frequency part is reconstructed.
And S8, performing wavelet fusion on the low-frequency sub-image and the high-frequency sub-image to generate a second defogged image.
In order to solve the problems that the overall restored image is dark and poor in visual effect by the existing dark primary color prior method, and the details of the image defogging method of wavelet transformation and atmospheric dissipation function are not enhanced and poor in detail processing effect, the invention respectively generates low-frequency sub-images by the wavelet transformation and the atmospheric dissipation function, extracts high-frequency sub-images by the dark primary color prior method, and performs wavelet fusion on the low-frequency sub-images and the high-frequency sub-images to generate a second defogged image. Because the low-frequency sub-image stores the brightness change characteristic of the image and the high-frequency sub-image is subjected to information enhancement, the second defogged image generated by the invention can simultaneously realize detail enhancement and the brightness change effect of the image is natural.
The wavelet fusion rules include a method of relatively large absolute value of coefficient, a weighted average method, a local variance criterion, and the like.
