Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of target detection, and particularly relates to an infrared-visible light fusion method and system based on feature enhancement and a readable storage medium.
Background
The target detection algorithm is widely applied to the fields of automatic driving, monitoring, remote sensing and the like. However, due to limitations of the visible light sensor, most target detection methods of visible light images cannot achieve satisfactory accuracy and are sensitive to severe environmental factors such as rain, fog, and weak light. In contrast, infrared sensors perform well in the harsh environments described above. However, the infrared sensor is greatly affected by temperature. In a high temperature environment with good illumination, visible light images have rich texture and color information, while infrared images have difficulty in effectively distinguishing foreground and background. Therefore, by fusing complementary information from the visible light and the infrared sensor, the accuracy, reliability and robustness of the detection algorithm can be further improved.
In the prior art, the work of infrared-visible light multi-mode target detection is mainly divided into a traditional method and a deep learning method. For the traditional method, features are extracted from visible light and infrared images by using a directional gradient Histogram (HOG), and cascading fusion features are input into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to obtain detection results, however, the feature extraction capability of a manually designed operator is limited, and an optimal feature extraction result is difficult to obtain; for the deep learning method, due to the strong representation learning capability, the deep learning shows advantages in the aspect of visible infrared fusion target detection, and four fusion detection strategies are designed based on YOLO v 4: image transition fusion, early fusion, mid-term fusion, and late fusion, however, the method using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is based on the non-global accepted domain of convolutional operators, resulting in information fusion only in local regions. Although these methods have higher performance than single-mode detection methods, they often lack long-range dependence and do not take full advantage of complementarity between modes, resulting in an undesirable detection result.
Therefore, there is a need to provide an infrared-visible light fusion method, system and readable storage medium based on feature enhancement, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems in the background art.
