Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of image enhancement technologies, and in particular, to an image enhancement method, apparatus, device, and storage medium based on a diffusion model.
Background
The image is one of the most common information carriers in electronic systems, and is widely applied in the fields of medical imaging, unmanned aerial vehicle photography, security monitoring, industrial detection and the like. However, many of the original pictures acquired have limitations in terms of quality, contrast, sharpness, and detail presentation due to environmental conditions, equipment limitations, noise during acquisition, and other factors. The image enhancement technique refers to a technique of processing features in an image to improve the visual effect of the image and to improve the quality of the image.
Conventional image enhancement methods generally employ techniques such as image filtering, histogram equalization, and image sharpening to improve the quality of the image. However, these methods have limited enhancement effects on images in the face of complex scenes and specific applications. For example: in medical images, the traditional image enhancement method cannot effectively extract pathological details or accurately restore the tissue structure of the image; in unmanned aerial vehicle photography, due to the change of illumination conditions and shooting distance, the problems of blurring, noise, low contrast and the like of a shot image may exist, and the enhancement effect of the shot image is limited by adopting a traditional image enhancement method; in security monitoring, a target object cannot be accurately identified and tracked by adopting a traditional image enhancement method.
With the rapid development of deep learning and computer vision, researchers have proposed image enhancement methods based on electronic systems to overcome the above problems. In order to improve the image enhancement effect, the existing image enhancement algorithm is realized based on a neural network model, and specific implementation modes include but are not limited to the following two modes: first kind: convolutional neural networks (Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN), which use low quality images (i.e., images that require image enhancement) as input and high quality images (i.e., images that do not require image enhancement) as training targets during training, use loss functions for iterative training of the network. And when the image is enhanced, inputting the target image to be enhanced into the trained CNN, and outputting the image to be enhanced. Second kind: a generated challenge network (Generative Adversarial Networks, GAN) uses low quality images as input, high quality images as training targets, and performs iterative training in the challenge of the generator and discriminator. When the image enhancement is carried out, inputting the target image to be subjected to the image enhancement into a trained generator, and outputting the image to be subjected to the image enhancement.
However, the existing neural network model for image enhancement has poor enhancement effect on images with more missing features.

In order to solve the problem of poor image enhancement effect caused by more characteristic missing in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides an image enhancement method and device based on a diffusion model.
As shown in fig. 1, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an image enhancement method based on a diffusion model, where the method includes:
and 101, acquiring a target image to be enhanced, and encoding the target image by an encoder to obtain an encoding feature map.
The target image to be enhanced can be an image acquired by a terminal with characteristics lost and discontinuous in the processes of power generation, power transmission and power distribution in the field of visual analysis of power business.
An Encoder (Encoder) is a device that compiles, converts, or communicates or stores signals or data into a signal form.
In this embodiment, the encoder can compress the input target image into a potential spatial representation, resulting in an encoded signature.
Step 102, obtaining an image enhancement instruction, and encoding the image enhancement instruction through a text editor to obtain a text code.
Wherein the image enhancement instructions include features and locations of the image that need to be enhanced.
Specifically, the features of the image to be enhanced may be face features, specific background features, and the like, and the position of the image to be enhanced may be the upper left corner, the upper right corner, and the like of the image.
In this embodiment, the text editor is a CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-tracking) text editor. And mapping the image and the text to the same vector space through a CLIP text editor to obtain the text code.
And step 103, inputting the coding feature map and the text codes into a pre-trained target image enhancement network.
Specifically, the coding feature map obtained in the step 101 and the text code obtained in the step 102 are both input into a pre-trained target image enhancement network, and target images are enhanced in a targeted manner through the target image enhancement network.
Step 104, gradually adding Gaussian noise into the coding feature map according to a preset noise adding rule and a preset step number to obtain a target noise image obeying Gaussian distribution, and determining the prediction noise in the result image after adding Gaussian noise in each step.
Specifically, adding a certain amount of Gaussian noise into the coding feature map to obtain a result image after the Gaussian noise is added for the first time; and then adding a certain amount of Gaussian noise into the result image after the Gaussian noise is added for the first time to obtain a result image after the Gaussian noise is added for the second time, and repeating the step of adding the Gaussian noise for a preset step for a plurality of times to obtain a target noise image approaching the Gaussian noise. The Gaussian noise is gradually added to the coding feature map, so that the original coding feature map is changed into a noise map conforming to standard Gaussian distribution.
In the process of gradually adding the gaussian noise, the prediction noise contained in the resultant image of each step is determined.
And 105, carrying out image enhancement on a region corresponding to the text code in the target noise image based on a cross attention mechanism to obtain a noise enhanced image.
