Description

Method and system for monitoring unmanned aerial vehicle based on low-illuminance haze
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a method and a system for monitoring an unmanned aerial vehicle based on low-illumination haze.
Background
With the development of technology, people have been paying more attention to unmanned aerial vehicles in recent years. Besides application in military directions, the application scene of the unmanned aerial vehicle is continuously expanded in the civil field. Such as: entertainment is taken photo by plane, agricultural plant protection, police security protection, electric power inspection, unmanned aerial vehicle survey and drawing, commodity circulation transportation, arrange performances etc. fields, unmanned aerial vehicle all has the unusual performance. However, unmanned aerial vehicle technology has some drawbacks while providing benefits. For aviation departments, problems such as difficult discovery, difficult supervision, difficult law enforcement and the like exist. During the period of taking off and landing of the aircraft, if the actions of the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot be recognized in time, some dangerous objects possibly carried on the unmanned aerial vehicle are observed, the crash of the aircraft is easily caused, the life safety and the benefit loss of the human are threatened, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can be effectively monitored on the premise of controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle.
For the working environment of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Under daytime scene, the unmanned aerial vehicle is easily caught by the image collecting equipment, the actions of the unmanned aerial vehicle are monitored, and dangerous objects carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle are identified. However, when the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a low-illumination environment accompanied by haze, the difficulty of monitoring is increased. The existing low-illumination defogging method has a plurality of defects. The problems of poor color saturation, fuzzy texture details, large noise and the like exist. Aiming at partial researchers of the problem of uneven illumination at night, the prior art provides a defogging algorithm of firstly compensating illumination and then correcting color; although the color looks like an improvement in effect, due to inaccuracy of illumination estimation in compensation, a blazed area in the graph is not well processed, so that the flare of the restored image is obvious and the noise is large; some researchers propose to implement defogging with illumination compensation and color correction after defogging, but transmission cannot be reasonably estimated, resulting in distortion of the finally restored image color, and poor defogging effect. In addition, some researchers consider that the artificial light source at night has phenomena such as blaze and illumination non-uniformity, so that a blaze layer is added into a standard daytime defogging model, a layer separation result is obtained by removing the blaze layer, then night atmospheric light is estimated in a blocking mode again, and the transmissivity is estimated through a dark channel theory, so that a restoration chart is obtained; although the defogging effect is good, the restored image is dark as a whole and the texture details are not clear because of no processing such as illumination compensation, brightness enhancement and the like; and the image is defogged and then displayed in dark, so that details are lost.
Some solutions are also proposed for monitoring unmanned aerial vehicles in the part of the published patent application documents, for example patent application CN108734670a and patent application CN115170404a. Although the low-illumination defogging method is improved by the above-mentioned disclosed scheme, the application is too wide, and unmanned aerial vehicle images under the low-illumination haze condition cannot be processed in a targeted manner. For example, the actual operating state of the drone is not considered; when the unmanned aerial vehicle works under the low-illumination condition, the unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with lights, and the lights can influence defogging images and easily generate halation effects. In addition, when a large-area sky area is contained, serious influences such as color cast and artifacts can appear in the sky area after defogging, so that the defogging effect of an image is poor, and a unmanned aerial vehicle is difficult to observe better. In patent application CN115616479a, a special device and system are disclosed for monitoring the unmanned aerial vehicle, but dangerous objects carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot be directly known, and the dangerous objects may cause serious accidents.
Therefore, based on the technical problem that the unmanned aerial vehicle monitors in the special scene, a low-illumination defogging method capable of being applied to the special scene is needed, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle can be better monitored, and dangerous objects carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle can be identified.
