Description

Video noise reduction method of local self-adaptive strength
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of image signal processing, and particularly relates to a video noise reduction method based on local adaptive strength.
Background
The raw image sensor sends bare data, which contains various noises, and the noise can be divided into random noise and fixed noise, the random noise is irrelevant to period and position, and the fixed noise appears at a fixed position of an image because the characteristics of pixels are inconsistent. These noises deteriorate the image quality and also determine the sensitivity of the image sensor. Corresponding noise reduction methods are required for different noise types, and the main technologies of video noise reduction include space domain noise reduction, time domain noise reduction, transform domain noise reduction and the like.
The common video noise reduction is carried out in a Bayer domain or a YUV domain, and the Bayer domain generally adopts spatial noise reduction. Bayer domain noise reduction is typically located on the pipeline in the bayer linear domain, such as before Tonemapping. The model which furthest retains the original noise is subjected to noise reduction in the Bayer domain, so that a better noise reduction effect is achieved, and meanwhile, the cost for noise reduction in the Bayer domain is higher, and the technical difficulty is higher. However, the bayer linear domain is not completely linear, because the noise distribution is damaged to different degrees due to the existence of various digital gains, and the digital gains are changed according to different regions and different scenes. Common bayer domain noise reduction algorithms such as bilateral filtering based and traditional non-local mean algorithm based have no way to solve the above problems.
The invention provides a video noise reduction method with local self-adaptive strength, which replaces the traditional fitting mode, fundamentally simulates various noise models damaged by digital gain, and is adapted to different pixels in the same frame to use different noise reduction strategies. The factors influencing the noise form are used as input, local noise reduction bandwidth is output, the bandwidth and a similarity-to-weight curve determine the weight of the current pixel participating in noise reduction, and finally the local self-adaptive noise reduction degree is realized on the noise reduction effect of the current pixel.
Disclosure of Invention

The video noise reduction method of the local adaptive strength provided by the invention adopts the local adaptive strength method to replace the traditional fitting mode, fundamentally simulates various noise models damaged by digital gain, and adapts to different noise reduction strategies for different pixels in the same frame. And taking factors influencing noise forms as input, outputting local noise reduction bandwidth, determining the weight of the current pixel participating in noise reduction by matching the bandwidth with a similarity-to-weight curve, and finally reflecting the noise reduction effect of the current pixel to realize local self-adaptive noise reduction.
The invention provides a video denoising method with local adaptive strength, which comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Generating a local gain map;
(2) Generating a local bandwidth by matching with the local brightness and BW0, BW1 bandwidth curves;
(3) Taking the local bandwidth as a 3dB bandwidth control point, and converting the local bandwidth into a weight curve through the similarity to obtain a final weight value;
(4) And finally, performing weighting, limiting and original image fusion to obtain a final noise reduction result.
The step (1) of generating the local gain map comprises the following specific processes: various digital gain signals such as digital gain of automatic exposure control, automatic white balance channel gain, lens shadow correction channel gain, channel gain (including motion area and overexposure area) used in high dynamic range fusion and the like are multiplied point by point and converged together, the converging process needs functions such as storage, synchronization and the like, all pixels are completely aligned, and finally a local gain map is generated.
And (3) generating a local bandwidth by matching the local brightness and the bandwidth curves of BW0 and BW1, wherein the specific process is as follows:
(2.1) extracting pixels of the same channel from the original Bayer image, taking the current pixel as a 7x7 brightness window of the center, and obtaining the brightness of the center pixel through a low-pass filter, namely: local brightness;
(2.2) sending the local gain map obtained in the step (1) to a local bandwidth 0 curve (BW 0) module (figure 3), dividing local brightness by the local gain map, and then sending to a local bandwidth 1 curve (BW 1) module (figure 4); the Local bandwidth 0 curve (BW 0) inputs Local gain and outputs Local _ BW0, wherein the Local bandwidth 0 curve adopts 16-segment fitting curve (figure 3), the curve control point coefficient is calibrated according to different image sensors (CMOS sensors), and different gains correspond to different noise reduction bandwidths. The Local bandwidth 1 curve (BW 1) inputs the original brightness of the pixel (the original brightness is obtained by dividing the Local brightness by the Local gain), and outputs Local _ BW1, wherein the Local bandwidth 1 curve adopts a 16-segment fitting curve (fig. 4), the curve control point coefficient is calibrated according to different image sensors (cmos sensors), and different photosensitive brightness corresponds to different noise reduction bandwidths. And finally multiplying the local bandwidth 0 by the local bandwidth 1 to obtain the final local bandwidth.
In the step (3), the smaller the similarity value is, the larger the corresponding weight should be, and in the step (3), the local bandwidth is used as a 3dB bandwidth control point, and a final weight value is obtained through a similarity-to-weight curve (fig. 5); the specific process is as follows: taking a current pixel as a center, recording a similarity table of each point and a central point in a 7x7 window as S [7,7], recording the similarity table as 49 points, converting the similarity of the 49 points into corresponding 49 weight values, and recording the weight values as a weight table W [7,7]; specifically, a low-pass filter described in fig. 5 is used for fitting, and the 3dB bandwidth of the low-pass filter is controlled by the local bandwidth obtained in step (2), and is divided into 9 orders. Therefore, the noise reduction bandwidth of each pixel is realized, and each pixel obtains the most appropriate noise reduction strength according to the self condition. Similarly, based on the similarity-to-weight curve, the corresponding S [7,7]49 points can be converted into W [7,7] weight table, as shown in FIG. 6. Having thus obtained the weight of each 7x7 neighboring pixel required for noise reduction and weighting, the noise reduction process for the current pixel can be started.

The specific formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003727160900000021
fusion _ o = NR _ o = alpha + raw [24] (1-alpha), where alpha = [ 0-1 ];
wherein, NR _ o is the noise-reduced result of the current pixel, and Fusion _ o is the output after the noise-reduced result of the current pixel and the pixel before the original noise reduction are fused; clip represents a truncate operation, where less than 0 is limited to 0 and greater than 4095 is limited to 4095; raw [24] represents 7 × 7 original bare data centered on the current pixel, and W [ i ] represents the weight corresponding to 7 × 7 pixels centered on the current pixel, i.e., W [7,7].

Detailed Description

And inputting the naked video image and outputting the fused video with good noise reduction. The specific embodiment of the invention is as follows:
fig. 1 is a local bandwidth generation diagram, which is completed in a local gain module by first generating a local gain map, where the local gain is obtained by converging various digital gain signals such as digital gain for automatic exposure control, automatic white balance channel gain, lens shading correction channel gain, and channel gain used in high dynamic range fusion, and the convergence process requires line storage, synchronization, and other functions to completely align each pixel, and finally generating the local gain map. Meanwhile, the 7x7 brightness window sent by the channel window can obtain the local brightness of the center through a low-pass filter, the local gain map is sent to the local bandwidth 0 curve module, and the local brightness is divided by the local gain map and then sent to the local bandwidth 1 curve module. The local bandwidth 0 curve is calibrated according to different sensors by sending out a local bandwidth 0,16 section fitting curve according to input local gain, and different gains correspond to different noise reduction bandwidths. The local bandwidth 1 curve is sent out a local bandwidth 1,16 segment fitting curve according to the original brightness after the input local brightness is divided by the local gain, calibration is completed according to different sensors, and different photosensitive brightness corresponds to different noise reduction bandwidths. And finally multiplying the local bandwidth 0 by the local bandwidth 1 to obtain the final local bandwidth.
Fig. 2 is a detailed process of local gain map generation, since a general pipeline design has modules such as WBG (white balance gain), LSC (lens shading correction), HDRFusion (high dynamic range) and the like before RawNR, where WBG includes global automatic white balance gain and automatic exposure digital gain, LSC includes local lens shading correction luminance shading and color shading channel gain, HDRFusion includes different gains of selecting different regions in the fusion process using long/medium/short exposure, and the like, and these different gains will eventually change the noise shape of each pixel. The local gain map of the upper graph is a complete local gain map, which is formed by fusing all the related digital gains together, and is accurate to each pixel.
Fig. 3 is a local bandwidth 0 curve, which is obtained by fitting 16 segments of dotted lines with local gains as input, and different local gains correspond to different local bandwidths 0 (intensity of noise), and are obtained by calibrating a specifically used image sensor.
Fig. 4 is a local bandwidth 1 curve, which is obtained by fitting 16 segments of dotted lines with the local brightness divided by the original local brightness of the local gain as input, and different local original brightness corresponds to different local bandwidths 1 (intensity of noise), and is obtained by calibrating the image sensor used specifically.
The outputs of the two curves are multiplied to obtain the final local bandwidth, which is used as a parameter to be sent to the similarity-to-weight curve, as shown in fig. 5.
The smaller the S value, the greater the corresponding weight, and here the low pass filter described in fig. 5 is used to fit, divided into 9 orders, with the 3dB bandwidth of the low pass filter being governed by the local bandwidth obtained above. Therefore, the noise reduction bandwidth of each pixel is realized, and each pixel obtains the most appropriate noise reduction strength according to the self condition.
According to the similarity-to-weight curve, the corresponding S7 points 49 points can be converted into a W7 weight table, as shown in FIG. 6. Having thus obtained the weight of each 7x7 neighboring pixel required for noise reduction and weighting, the noise reduction process for the current pixel can be started.
The denoising process with the weight of 7x7 is relatively simple, and the final denoising output result can be obtained only by weighting, limiting and fusing with the original graph.
