A kind of method of adaptive picture noise suppression
Technical field
The present invention is applied to the Digital Video Processing technical field, particularly a kind of method that adopts adaptive approach to suppress picture noise.
Background technology
In each link of TV signal source generation, Channel Transmission and receiving course, all may introduce noise, the most general TV signal noise type is an additive white Gaussian noise, mainly produces the Channel Transmission process of videoblankingsync from the transmission end to user's receiving terminal.The method that reduces picture noise has a variety of, but most widely used general, realizes the simplyst, and the most tangible method of effect is carried out low-pass filtering to image exactly.Low-pass filtering is mainly utilized image correlation spatially, and random noise and the Gaussian noise relatively poor to those correlations suppress.
In general, image noise reduction can be divided in the frame and two kinds of methods of interframe noise reduction.Noise reduction mainly is to utilize image correlation spatially to handle in the frame, and the interframe noise reduction is to utilize image correlation in time to handle.Their unavoidable weakness is all arranged for two kinds of methods.
For the space noise reduction, i.e. noise reduction in the frame, its effect aspect the handled object border is very not satisfactory.The border brightness and the colourity of object all can have bigger variation, and when noise reduction point just was in object boundary, low pass filter can thicken object boundary, and this is that great majority are realized the problem that noise reduction all can run into by low pass filter.
The method that a kind of noise magnitude that application number is 200410069837.8 disclosure of the Invention is measured.Adopted definitely the adding up and, and select one group of predetermined filter coefficient to carry out filtering of luminance difference of current field picture and preceding field picture respective pixel in this method by this magnitude as the noise magnitude of this field picture.This kind method has effect preferably for rest image, but for moving image, particularly the image of rapid movement is understood the introducing bigger noise magnitude wrong owing to the motion of image itself.The noise suppressed coefficient that adopts this noise magnitude to determine will bring bigger image definition loss.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the space noise reduction and can produce obscurity boundary, and problem such as noise magnitude measurement, provided a kind of method that image side information and picture blanking phase carry out the Adaptive Suppression noise of video image of utilizing.
The present invention includes following steps: (a) utilize the method for recurrence between the field, by calculating, find the edge of image, and provide the size and Orientation at edge to candidate pixel point brightness correlation; (b) utilize picture blanking phase information that the noisiness level of this field picture is estimated, the noise pollution that is subjected to of university degree field picture is strong more more for the noise magnitude; (c) according to the size and Orientation at edge, select the filtering pixel,, choose corresponding filter factor according to the noise magnitude; (d) utilize the filtering pixel and the corresponding filter factor that produce to carry out filtering, obtain the noise reduction result.
Between the field described in the step (a) recursion method be meant utilize edge result that the front court calculates as the Ben Chang edge judge a foundation, if there is the edge in the front court pixel, then this correspondence position need carry out candidate pixel point brightness correlation calculations and increase the weight that there is the edge in this pixel.
The candidate pixel point brightness correlation calculations in step described in the step (a) is with corresponding candidate pixel luminance difference summation; The result who compares all directions correlation calculations, the direction that correlation is bigger are the directions that the edge exists, and the foundation of calculating as next edge is preserved at this edge.
It is exactly the mean value of computed image blanking interval level that noise magnitude described in the step (b) is estimated, this mean value is as the noise magnitude.
The system of selection of filtering pixel is in the step (c): for the pixel of edge existence, direction according to the edge, select the filtering pixel according to the edge direction, the distance of filtering pixel distance impact point is by the size decision at edge, and edge big more candidate's filtering pixel is far away more apart from impact point; For the non-existent pixel in edge, select the point adjacent as the filtering pixel with object pixel.
The choosing method of filter factor is in the step (c): for the pixel that the edge exists, filter factor is exactly to finish average to the filtering pixel; For the pixel that does not have the edge, choose filter factor according to the size of noise magnitude.
The adaptivity that the invention provides noise-reduction method is mainly reflected in two aspects: (1) is judged by the edge, the candidate pixel of adaptively selected filter.Judgement be the pixel at image edge, and is big with the correlation of the pixel of edge direction, utilize pixel on the edge to carry out filtering and can obtain better filter effect, and minimizing is to the loss of edge details.Judgement is the pixel at non-edge, utilizes the candidate pixel that pre-determines to carry out filtering; (2) judge adaptively selected noise reduction coefficient by the noise magnitude.The noise magnitude is being represented image by the degree of noise pollution, and the image of different pollution levels is adopted the filter factor of varying strength, can obtain more natural image effect.
