Description

Reversible gray scale method, system and device based on neural network and image steganography
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of reversible gray scale, in particular to a reversible gray scale method, a system and a device based on a neural network and image steganography.
Background
Color image generation gray scale image methods have important applications in many fields, such as printing, engraving, monochrome display, image processing, and the like. The conventional gray image generation method focuses on perceptions such as contrast, texture features, and the like. There is also a class of gray scale generation methods called reversible gray scale, which are mainly aimed at generating a gray scale image, and at encoding color information of a color image in the generated gray scale with concealment, and at recovering the original color image as perfectly as possible when necessary.
In 2018, xia et al proposed a reversible gray scale method on ACM Transactions on Graphics that models the image decoloring and coloring process as a closed loop through the encoding-decoding network. The method can embed the color information into the generated gray-scale image, so that the decoded image can reconstruct the color consistent with the original color more accurately.
In 2020, ye et al propose a dual feature set network on IEEE ACCESS, using dense residual representation, integrating the ability of local residual learning and local feature fusion, suppressing the redundancy characteristics generated by dual path modules by means of an attention mechanism, thus obtaining a gray scale image with better consistency and reconstructing a color image.
2021, Liu et al proposed a JPEG robust reversible gray scale system on IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics that introduced an contrast training and JPEG simulator on the basis of a codec network, enabling the generated gray scale image to be JPEG robust and reducing the encoded texture of the generated image. Zhao et al propose a new reversible gray scale method on IEEE Transactions on Image Processing that maps color images forward to gray scale images and latent variables through a reversible neural network, and then converts gray scale images and a set of gaussian-distributed random variables into color images that are close to the original ones through reverse mapping.
For the reversible gray scale method, the most critical performance is the similarity degree of the generated gray scale image and the reconstructed color image with the target gray scale image and the original color image respectively. While the prior art uses an end-to-end structural framework, which is imperfect in terms of performance affable, there is significant lifting space, and this is mainly due to the two main disadvantages of these techniques: ① Failure to truly efficiently eliminate redundancy of color information results in a large amount of information of the content to be encoded. ② In the process of encoding color information, the information loss of the gray image is large.
