Description

Image denoising method based on external non-local self-similarity and improved sparse representation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an image denoising method based on external non-local self-similarity and improved sparse representation.
Background
Through decades of development, digital image processing technology has become more and more mature, and plays a great role in the fields of climate monitoring, medical diagnosis, face recognition, defect detection and the like. Digital images are inevitably interfered by noise in the processes of generation, transmission and conversion, and the operations of compressing, feature extraction and the like on the images containing the noise cause the degradation of image quality. Therefore, the problem of estimating an original clean image from an image containing noise has become one of important research contents.
The image denoising algorithm is mainly divided into a spatial domain method and a transform domain method, and the spatial domain method recovers an image by using the correlation of image pixels. Unlike the spatial domain method, the transform domain method requires transforming the noise image into another domain that facilitates distinguishing the noise signal from the original image signal, thereby removing the noise by filtering, and finally restoring the processed image into the original domain.
The non-local self-similar prior denoising method belongs to a spatial domain method, and the core idea is to recover an image according to the fact that many similar image blocks exist in the image. For example, selecting any image block, many similar image blocks can be found at other positions of the image. Therefore, when an image block is contaminated by noise, the image block can be restored by using an image block similar to the image block. The non-local self-similar prior method has higher flexibility, and can extract similar image blocks from a noise image or an external image, wherein the similar image blocks are called as external non-local self-similar prior. As can be seen from the principle of the non-local self-similarity method, this method only provides sufficient image texture information for restoring the image. In recent years, sparse representation models have become a focus of research because combining non-local self-similarity methods with sparse representation models can efficiently remove noise in images. The core idea of the sparse representation model is to extract orthogonal vectors capable of representing key texture detail information of an image from non-local self-similar prior, and the image can be recovered by linearly combining the orthogonal vectors. In the sparse representation process, the image signal has sparsity, and the noise signal does not have sparsity, so that the noise is filtered.
In 2015, Xu Jun et al first proposes a Patch Group Prior Denoising (PGPD) model, the PGPD model learns non-local self-similar Prior information of an external clean image by using a gaussian mixture model, finds external non-local self-similar Prior information most matched with a noise image block by a probability matching method, and finally performs sparse representation on the external non-local self-similar Prior to restore the image. The PGPD model has the advantage of finding texture and detail information suitable for recovering an image, for example, in the case of a high noise level, the texture and detail information of the image are seriously damaged by noise, it is difficult to extract accurate texture information from a noisy image itself to recover the image, and an external non-local self-similar prior is derived from an external clean image without considering the interference of the noise on the external non-local self-similar prior.
However, the PGPD model cannot solve the problem that the sparse representation model lacks adaptability, and for an image with a low noise level, the sparse representation model can generate the problem of incomplete denoising, so that noise residue exists in the image; for an image with a higher noise level, the sparse representation model can destroy the texture and detail information of the image while removing noise, and the utility of external non-local self-similarity prior cannot be effectively exerted. The sparse representation model has the defect that the regularization parameters of the model cannot be automatically adjusted. Therefore, the regularization parameters of the sparse representation model are optimized, so that the regularization parameters can effectively remove noise and simultaneously retain texture and detail information of the image as much as possible.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide an image denoising method based on external non-local self-similarity and improved sparse representation, so as to solve the problems in the background technology.
The invention aims to provide an image denoising method based on external non-local self-similarity and improved sparse representation aiming at the problems in the prior art, and the method increases the self-adaptability of a sparse representation model by optimizing the regularization parameter of the sparse representation model so as to solve the technical problems of low peak signal-to-noise ratio of a denoised image and detail information loss in the conventional image denoising method. To achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by comprising the steps of:
(1) dividing an external clean image dataset into block groups;
(2) dividing the block group of the external clean image into an external flat sliding block group and an external texture block group;
(3) learning an external sliding block set prior;
(4) learning an external texture block set prior through a Gaussian mixture model;
(5) dividing the noise image into block groups;
(6) guiding the noise image block clustering by using the external flat sliding block group and the external texture block group, and simultaneously calculating the flat sliding block group ratio of the noise image;
(7) and optimizing the regularization parameters of the sparse representation model by using the flat block group ratio, and respectively recovering the image blocks in each subspace according to the improved sparse representation model and the external non-local self-similar prior.
In the step (1), the external clean image data set is divided into block groups according to a non-local self-similarity method. A reference image block (with the size of p multiplied by p) in the external clean image is selected, M-1 image blocks most similar to the reference image block can be found in the range of W multiplied by W of a search window by utilizing Euclidean distance, and then the M similar image blocks are combined into a block group. Suppose that

Represents a block group, then
Figure GDA0003490219230000032
Representing a block vector consisting of three color channels in an image block, the block group with the dc component removed is represented as:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure GDA0003490219230000034
representing the dc component of the block set X. After the direct current component of the block group is removed, the similarity between the block groups can be obviously increased, so that the number of Gaussian components required by the block group fitting is reduced.
In the step (2), the purpose of classifying the external clean image block group is to divide the block group into an external flat slider group and an external texture block group. The sliding block set does not belong to key image information a priori, and a sliding block set space can be constructed quickly; the texture block group stores key information such as texture and detail of the image, and an external texture prior space needs to be constructed by a learning method. Calculate each block group

In step (3), it is assumed that a total of N is extracted from the external clean image dataset1A flat slider group, the outer flat slider group space is expressed as

Because the flat sliding block group does not belong to key image information a priori, a smooth priori subspace can be directly constructed, and P is removed firstlySHas a direct current component of

Since texture block sets belong to key image information a priori, a Gaussian mixture model is used to fit the block set PxThe non-local self-similar prior, gaussian mixture model has the advantage of being able to efficiently partition the external prior subspace, i.e. each gaussian component represents one prior subspace. The technical scheme is that the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model are solved by using an EM algorithm for iteration J times, if the difference value between the current iteration result and the last iteration result is smaller than an iteration threshold theta, the iteration process is ended in advance, and finally K external texture prior subspaces are obtained

In the step (5), the noise image is divided into blocks to increase the matching degree between the noise image blocks and the external blocks, and then the image is restored by selecting the external blocks which are most matched with each other a priori. One reference image block (with the size of p multiplied by p) in the noise image is selected, M-1 image blocks which are most similar to the reference image block are found in the W multiplied by W range of a search window, and the M similar image blocks are combined into a block group. Suppose that

Representing a group of blocks in a noisy image, in which

The purpose of removing the dc component from the noise image block group is to increase the prior matching degree with the external block group.
In the step (6), the clustering aims to classify similar block groups in the noise image into the same subspace, and the flat sliding block group ratio is used for optimizing the regularization coefficient of the sparse representation model. Compared with the whole image, the subspace only stores certain specific types of image information, and the denoising treatment of each subspace one by one can obviously reduce the difficulty of the denoising problem. Fitting the outer prior subspace

The noise image block group is guided to be clustered as a reference subspace, and the speed of clustering the noise image block group can be remarkably increased because an external prior subspace is prepared in advance. In groups of blocks

The probability of matching the kth external prior subspace, K1, 2, 3. Assume that a total of L blocks are extracted from the noisy image, with a subspace N (0, ∑ of the outer smoothing prior)k) The most matched block group number is L0Then the flat-slider group ratio of the noisy image is σ ═ L0The noise image smoothing block set ratio indirectly reflects the noise level of the noise image. The higher the noise level of the image, the smaller the value of the smooth block group ratio; the lower the noise level of the image, the greater the value of the smooth block group ratio.
In the step (7), the key of the sparse representation model is to construct a dictionary and sparse coding coefficients, and the noise image can be restored by obtaining a dictionary matrix and a sparse coding coefficient matrix. The dictionary is composed of a plurality of feature vectors that hold key information in the image. The role of the sparse coding coefficients is to pick the appropriate feature vectors to recover the image, so that a signal can be represented by a few feature vectors. Hypothesis and block set

wherein D iskIs formed by an external prior subspace sigmakDecomposed external dictionary, SkIs a reaction of with DkThe corresponding eigenvalue matrix, exp (-) represents an exponential function, δ is an artificially set threshold, and ε is a positive number that approaches zero. According to the regularization term on the right side of the equation (5), the regularization parameter λ is adjusted by using the property that the exponential function is monotonically increased, when the noise level of the image is higher, the number of the smooth block groups in the image is smaller, the value of the smooth block group ratio σ is smaller, and the value of exp (δ - σ) is larger, so that the value of λ is increased, and the texture and detail information of the image is prevented from being damaged by the sparse representation model. Conversely, when the noise level of the image is lower, the larger the number of the slider groups in the image, the larger the value of the slider group ratio σ, the smaller the value of exp (δ - σ), and therefore the value of λ can be reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of incomplete denoising caused by the sparse representation model.
The formula (5) expresses the method for optimizing the sparse representation model by using the sliding block group ratio, and simultaneously describes the process of estimating the coding coefficient by using the improved sparse representation model, and the invention adopts a soft threshold method to solve the sparse coding coefficient in the formula (5):

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the method is divided into two stages, wherein the first stage is a preparation stage, namely learning external non-local self-similar prior; the second stage is a denoising stage, i.e., removing noise using an external non-local self-similar prior. The first stage and the second stage are independent from each other, so that the denoising efficiency can be accelerated.
The regularization parameters of the sparse representation model are optimized by utilizing the smooth block group ratio of the noise image, so that the adaptability of the sparse representation model is improved, and the sparse representation model is suitable for recovering images with different noise levels. Compared with the prior art, the method can efficiently remove noise, simultaneously can keep the details and texture information of the image as much as possible, and can remarkably improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the image.

Example 1:
as shown in fig. 1, the method is a flow of an image denoising method based on external non-local self-similarity and improved sparse representation, an algorithm needs to be iteratively processed when a denoising process is completed, and in order to improve denoising efficiency, clustering processing is performed on a noise image block group only when the number of iterations is odd. In addition, the smooth block group ratio of the noisy image only needs to be calculated at the first iteration.
The image denoising method based on the external non-local self-similarity and the improved sparse representation comprises the following steps:
(1) partitioning an external clean image dataset into block groups

Because the outer flat slider group P is assembledSThe DC component removing process is performed so that the Gaussian components N (0, Sigma)k) Is a zero vector.

In this embodiment, the number K of gaussian components in the gaussian mixture model is 32, the number of iterations for solving the gaussian mixture model by the EM algorithm is J100, and the iteration threshold θ of the EM algorithm is 1 × 10-10.
