发明内容
本公开实施例提出了一种图像处理方法及装置、电子设备、存储介质和程序产品。
根据本公开实施例的一方面,提供了一种图像处理方法,包括:
获取包括目标对象的目标图像;对所述目标图像进行分割,得到所述目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为分割结果;根据所述分割结果,确定所述目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述对所述目标图像进行分割,得到所述目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为分割结果,包括:将所述目标图像输入至神经网络;根据所述神经网络的输出,确定所述目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为所述分割结果;其中,所述神经网络通过包括所述目标对象的训练图像进行训练,所述训练图像中的目标对象通过至少一个目标子对象的名称进行标注。因此,可以通过神经网络实现对目标图像进行分割,从而有效提升分割的稳定性、效率和精度,继而提升图像处理的稳定性、效率和精度。同时由于神经网络可以根据训练图像中包括的目标子对象的名称的实际情况灵活调整结构和实现方式,因此,可以提升关键点检测的灵活性,继而提升图像处理方法实现的灵活性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述神经网络通过包括所述目标对象的训练图像进行训练,包括:根据所述训练图像中目标对象的标注,确定所述训练图像中至少部分像素点的标签;通过包括所述至少部分像素点的标签的训练图像,对所述神经网络进行训练。这样,在确定了训练图像中至少部分像素点的标签后,可以根据包含至少部分像素点标签的训练图像对神经网络训练,通过上述过程,可以基于标注的训练图像有效地对神经网络进行训练,得到具有分割命名功能的神经网络,提升图像处理的便捷性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述神经网络通过包括所述目标对象的训练图像进行训练,包括:在所述训练图像中的目标对象内,确定距离第一目标像素点最近的目标子对象,其中,所述第一目标像素点为所述训练图像中除所述目标对象以外的至少一个像素点;将确定的所述目标子对象的标注,作为所述第一目标像素点的标签;根据包括所述第一目标像素点的标签和所述目标对象的标注的训练图像,对所述神经网络进行训练。通过上述过程,可以基于包含目标对象标注的训练图像,得到具有密集标签和完整信息的训练图像对神经网络进行训练,从而在不增加标注难度的基础上,提升训练得到的神经网络的精度,继而提升分割结果以及最终得到的目标子对象的名称的准确度。提升图像处理的准确性和便捷性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述根据所述分割结果,确定所述目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称,包括:根据所述分割结果,确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称,其中,所述第二目标像素点为所述目标子对象包含的像素点;统计所述目标子对象中每一所述第二目标像素点的名称,得到统计结果,将所述统计结果中数量最多的名称,作为所述目标子对象的名称。通过上述过程,即使目标图像中存在部分像素点的分割结果不准确,也可以基于比例得到较为准确的目标子对象的名称,从而可以提升最终确定的目标子对象的名称的准确性,继而提升图像处理的准确度和精度。
在一种可能的实现方式中,根据所述分割结果,确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称,包括:将每一所述第二目标像素点对应的分割结果,作为每一所述第二目标像素点的名称;或者,基于每一所述第二目标像素点预设范围内至少一个像素点的分割结果,确定每一所述第二目标像素点的名 称。因此,通过基于第二目标像素点预设范围内至少一个像素点的分割结果,确定第二目标像素点的名称,可以有效地引入这些具有辅助功能像素点的分割结果来确定第二目标像素点的名称,提升确定的第二目标像素点的名称的准确性,继而提升确定的目标子对象名称的准确性,从而提升图像处理准确度。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:根据至少一个所述目标子对象的名称,对所述目标对象进行处理,得到处理结果。这样,通过根据至少一个目标子对象的名称对目标对象进行处理,得到处理结果,可以有效地根据目标子对象的名称对目标对象进行进一步地优化,即使之前对目标图像进行分割得到的分割结果准确率较低,从而导致确定的名称存在一定的误差,也可以通过处理进行修正,得到更为准确的处理结果,提升图像处理的精度和鲁棒性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述根据至少一个所述目标子对象的名称,对所述目标对象进行处理,包括:对所述目标对象中具有相同名称的目标子对象进行提取;和/或,根据相邻的目标子对象的名称,对所述目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称进行修正。这样,可以进一步减小由于分割不准确导致的命名结果不准确的情况的发生,提升最终得到的处理结果的准确性,提升图像处理的精度和鲁棒性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标图像包括:心脏冠脉掩模图像,或者,心脏冠脉掩模图像以及心脏掩模图像;所述目标对象包括冠脉中心线。在目标图像同时包含心脏冠脉掩模图像以及心脏掩模图像的情况下,可以基于掩模图像进行分割,相比直接基于原始的心脏冠脉图像进行分割来说,简化后续分割过程的输入环境,降低了图像处理过程中的噪音;还可以通过心脏掩模图像,保留心脏各个腔室的信息,从而便于同时可以尽可能地保留冠脉的树状结构信息以及供血位置信息,减小了后续分割的难度,提升分割结果以及最终确定的名称的准确程度。

图1示出根据本公开一实施例的图像处理方法的流程图,该方法可以应用于图像处理装置,图像处理装置可以为终端设备、服务器或者其他处理设备等。其中,终端设备可以为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、移动设备、用户终端、终端、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、手持设备、计算设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备等。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该图像处理方法可以通过处理器调用存储器中存储的计算机可读指令的方式来实现。如图1所示,所述图像处理方法可以包括:
步骤S11,获取包括目标对象的目标图像。
步骤S12,对目标图像进行分割,得到目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为分割结果。
步骤S13,根据分割结果,确定目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称。
其中,目标对象可以是任何具有命名需求的对象。在一种可能的实现方式中,目标对象可以是需要进行分区域或分段命名的对象。由于目标对象可能包含有多个需要命名的段或区域,因此,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标对象可以根据多段或多区域的命名需求,被划分为多个目标子对象。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本公开实施例中提出的图像处理方法,可以用于对心脏冠脉中心线的各段进行命名。因此,在一个示例中,目标对象可以是心脏冠脉的中心线,即冠脉中心线,在这种情况下,目标对象可以包含有多个目标子对象,每个目标子对象可以是树状冠脉中心线结构的其中一个分支或是分支中的其中一段,即冠脉中心线段;在一个示例中,目标对象也可以是心脏冠脉中其他具有命名需求的部分,或是心脏冠脉中心线的部分区域等,根据实际情况灵活选择即可。在一种可能的实现方式中,本公开实施例中提出的方法也可以应用于对其他包含多段或多区域的器官或组织进行命名,相应的,在一些可能的实现方式中,目标对象可以是具有多区域或多段命名需求的器官或组织。后续各公开实施例均以目标对象为心脏冠脉中心线为例进行说明,在目标对象为其他形式的情况下,其处理方法可以根据本公开实施例提出的方法进行灵活扩展,不再举例说明。
目标图像中像素点的名称,可以是与该像素点对应的目标子对象的名称。随着目标对象实现方式的不同,目标对象中目标子对象的名称,其实现方式也可以根据实际情况灵活决定。在一种可能的实现方式中,在目标对象为冠脉中心线的情况下,目标子对象的名称可以为冠脉中心线可以被划分为的多个冠脉中心线段的名称,如右冠状动脉(RCA,Right Coronary Artery)、右冠起源后降支(R-PDA,Right-Posterior Descending Artery)、左冠起源后降支(L-PDA,Left-Posterior Descending Artery)、右冠起源后侧支(R-PLB,Right-Posterior Lateral Branch)、左冠起源后侧支(L-PLB,Left-Posterior Lateral Branch)、左主干(LM,Left Main)、回旋支中远段(LCX,Leaky Coaxial Cable)、第一及第二钝缘支(OM1-2,Obtuse Marginal 1 and 2)、左前降支(LAD,Left Anterior Descending)、第一及第二对角支(D1-2,Diagonal 1 and 2)或是其他(Others)等。
目标图像可以是包含有目标对象的任意图像,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标图像可以是包含有全部目标对象的图像,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标图像也可以是包含有部分目标对象的图像,根据实际情况灵活选择即可。从上述公开实施例可以看出,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标图像可以是掩模图像(mask),至于是何种掩模图像,可以根据实际情况灵活决定。如上述各公开实施例所述,在一种可能的情况下,目标对象可以包括冠脉中心线,相应地,目标图像可以是包含了冠脉中心线的图像或是可以用于提取冠脉中心线的图像。因此,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标图像可以包括心脏冠脉掩模图像。在一个示例中,心脏冠脉掩模图像可以是一个二值图像,比如可以通过0和1两个值区分图中的像素点是属于心脏冠脉还是与心脏冠脉无关的背景。
在一种可能的实现方式中,目标图像可以包括心脏冠脉掩模图像以及心脏掩模图像。心脏冠脉掩模图像的形式可以如上述公开实施例所述,在此不再赘述。心脏掩模图像可以是心脏冠脉所属的心脏所构成的一个掩模图像,通过不同的值划分出心脏的各个部位或腔室。在一个示例中,目标图 像可以是心脏冠脉掩模图像和心脏掩模图像叠加而成的掩模图像,在叠加的过程中,心脏掩模图像中不属于心脏冠脉的像素点可以标记成心脏冠脉掩模图像中的背景值。后续各公开实施例中,均以目标图像为心脏掩模图像和心脏冠脉掩模图像叠加而成的掩模图像为例进行说明,其余可能的实现方式可以参考后续各公开实施例进行扩展,不再一一列举。
在目标图像同时包含心脏冠脉掩模图像以及心脏掩模图像的情况下,可以基于掩模图像进行分割,相比直接基于原始的心脏冠脉图像进行分割来说,简化后续分割过程的输入环境,降低了图像处理过程中的噪音;还可以通过心脏掩模图像,保留心脏各个腔室的信息,从而便于同时可以尽可能地保留冠脉的树状结构信息以及供血位置信息,减小了后续分割的难度,提升分割结果以及最终确定的名称的准确程度。
在得到了包括目标对象的目标图像后,可以通过步骤S12,对包括目标对象的目标图像进行分割,来得到目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为分割结果。在一种可能的实现方式中,分割可以是对目标图像中的每个像素点进行分类,从而确定目标图像中每个像素点的类别;在一种可能的实现方式中,分割也可以是对目标图像中的每个前景像素点(比如心脏冠脉掩模图像中属于心脏冠脉的像素点)进行分类,从而确定目标图像中每个前景像素点的类别等。在本公开实施例中,分割的实现方式可以根据实际情况灵活决定,可以参见下述各公开实施例,在此先不做展开。
由于分割可以对目标图像中的像素点进行分类,因此,还可以根据目标图像中每个像素点的分类结果,确定目标图像中目标对象的各个目标子对象的名称。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据分割结果确定目标对象中每个目标子对象的名称;在一种可能的实现方式中,也可以根据需求,仅确定目标对象中部分目标子对象的名称,被确定的目标子对象的数量以及选择哪些目标子对象进行名称确定均可以根据实际情况灵活选择,在本公开实施例中不做限制。具体如何根据这些像素点的分类结果来确定目标子对象的名称,其实现方式可以根据实际情况灵活选择,详见后续各公开实施例,在此先不做展开。
在本公开实施例中,通过获取包括目标对象的目标图像,并对目标图像进行分割得到分割结果,从而根据分割结果确定目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称。通过上述过程,可以将对目标图像中包含多个目标子对象的目标对象的命名过程,转化为掩模分割过程,有效地减小命名过程实现的难度以及提升命名的准确度,从而提升图像处理过程的鲁棒性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,由于目标图像可以包括掩模图像,可以使得分割基于掩模图像进行,从而简化分割的输入环境,降低图像处理过程的噪音。
如上述各公开实施例所述,目标图像的实现形式可以根据实际情况灵活决定。因此获取包括目标对象的目标图像的方式也可以根据实际情况灵活决定。在一种可能的实现方式中,获取目标图像的方式可以为,对心脏冠脉原始图像进行血管分割,得到心脏冠脉掩模图像,然后对心脏冠脉掩模图像进行中心线提取,得到冠脉中心线图像作为目标对象,然后将冠脉中心线与心脏冠脉掩模图像进行叠加,从而得到包含目标对象的目标图像。在一种可能的实现方式中,获取目标图像的方式也可以为:对心脏冠脉原始图像进行血管分割得到心脏冠脉掩模图像,然后对心脏冠脉掩模图像进行中心线提取,得到冠脉中心线图像作为目标对象,同时对心脏原始图像进行血管分割,得到心脏掩模图像,然后将冠脉中心线、心脏冠脉掩模图像和心脏掩模图像进行叠加,从而得到包含目标对象的目标图像。步骤S11其余的可能实现方式可以根据目标图像的实际情况灵活选择,不再一一举例说明。
在得到了包括目标对象的目标图像后,可以通过步骤S12对目标图像进行分割,得到分割结果。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据目标图像中像素点与目标对象的相对位置,确定目标图像中至少部分像素点最接近或属于的目标子对象的名称,作为分割结果。在一种可能的实现方式中,也可以通过神经网络来得到目标图像的分割结果,在这种情况下,步骤S12可以包括:
将目标图像输入至神经网络;根据神经网络的输出,确定目标图像中至少一个像素点的名称,作为分割结果;其中,神经网络通过包括目标对象的训练图像进行训练,训练图像中的目标对象通过至少一个目标子对象的名称进行标注。
其中,神经网络输出的像素点的名称,可以是目标图像中的每个像素点的名称,也可以是目标图像中的部分像素点的名称,根据实际情况灵活确定即可。在一种可能的实现方式中,神经网络输出的可以是目标图像中每个前景像素点的名称,将每个前景像素点的名称作为分割结果。
训练图像的实现形式可以参考上述目标图像的实现形式,在此不再赘述。对训练图像的目标对象进行标注的方式在本公开实施例中不做限制,可以根据神经网络实现的功能灵活决定。在一种可能的实现方式中,也可以对训练图像中目标对象中的每个像素点分别进行标注,或是对训练图像中 的每个像素点分别进行标注,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以分别对训练图像中的多个目标子对象进行标注。在一个示例中,可以将目标对象划分为多个目标子对象,然后标注其中部分目标子对象或每个目标子对象的名称,从而可以对目标子对象覆盖的像素点统一进行标注。选择哪种标注方式,可以根据实际情况灵活选择,在本公开实施例中不做限制。
神经网络的实现形式以及训练方式在本公开实施例中均不作限制,可以根据实际情况灵活选择,神经网络的初始模型可以根据实际情况任意选择,在一个示例中,可以将残差虚拟网络(Res-Vnet)作为神经网络的实现形式。训练采取的损失函数也可以根据实际情况灵活选择,在一个示例中,可以将骰子损失(dice loss)作为损失函数,对神经网络进行训练。
通过上述公开实施例可以看出,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以通过神经网络对目标图像进行分割,由于对目标图像进行分割的神经网络可以通过包括目标对象的训练图像进行训练,且训练图像中的目标对象通过至少一个目标子对象的名称进行标注。因此,基于上述训练图像得到的神经网络,可以对目标图像中属于目标对象的像素点进行分割,从而得到每个被分割的像素点的分割结果,且分割结果可以是目标图像包含的像素点对应的目标子对象的名称,可能的名称种类可以参考上述各公开实施例,在此不再赘述。
通过以目标子对象的名称进行标注的训练图像,对神经网络训练,从而利用训练好的神经网络实现对目标图像的分割,得到分割结果。通过上述过程,可以有效地利用神经网络对目标图像实现像素级的分割,较为便捷地得到分割结果,从而有效地降低了图像处理的难度,提升了图像处理的实用性和泛化能力。
神经网络通过包括目标对象的训练图像进行训练的方式,可以根据实际情况灵活决定,在一种可能的实现方式中,神经网络通过包括目标对象的训练图像进行训练,可以包括:根据训练图像中目标对象的标注,确定训练图像中至少部分像素点的标签;通过包括至少部分像素点的标签的训练图像,对神经网络进行训练。
如上述各公开实施例所述,训练图像中目标对象的标注形式可以根据实际情况灵活选择,相应地,随着标注的形式不同,步骤S21中确定至少部分像素点标签的方式也可以随之发生变化。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以将训练图像中目标对象的标注,直接作为目标图像中对应像素点的标签。如上所述,在一个示例中,可以通过将目标对象划分为多段目标子对象,对每段目标子对象进行命名的方式实现标注,因此被命名的目标子对象覆盖的像素点的标注可以作为这些像素点的标签。
在确定了训练图像中至少部分像素点的标签后,可以根据包含至少部分像素点标签的训练图像对神经网络训练,通过上述过程,可以基于标注的训练图像有效地对神经网络进行训练,得到具有分割命名功能的神经网络,提升图像处理的便捷性。
如上述各公开实施例所述,在一种可能的实现方式中,目标对象可以是冠脉中心线,而对于心脏冠脉掩模图像来说,冠脉中心线为心脏冠脉掩模的一部分,心脏冠脉掩模图像中还存在一部分像素点,其不属于目标对象即冠脉中心线,但是属于冠脉,因此这些像素点对应的名称,可以有助于确定冠脉中心线的名称。如上述各公开实施例所述,在对训练图像中的目标对象进行标注的过程中,可以是对训练图像中的每个像素点进行标注,也可以是对训练图像的目标对象中的每个像素点进行标注。因此,这些有助于确定冠脉中心线名称的像素点,可能不包含标注。在一种可能的实现方式中,为了提高训练得到的神经网络的精度,可以考虑根据标注确定这些像素点的标签。
因此,在一种可能的实现方式中,神经网络通过包括目标对象的训练图像进行训练,可以包括:在训练图像中的目标对象内,确定距离第一目标像素点最近的目标子对象,其中,第一目标像素点为训练图像中除目标对象以外的至少一个像素点;将确定的目标子对象的标注,作为第一目标像素点的标签;根据包括第一目标像素点的标签和目标对象的标注的训练图像,对神经网络进行训练。
其中,第一目标像素点可以是训练图像中不属于目标对象的至少一个像素点,至于选择哪些像素点作为第一目标像素点,可以根据实际情况灵活决定。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以将训练图像中位于目标对象以外,但是可以辅助对目标对象进行命名的像素点作为第一目标像素点,以目标对象为冠脉中心线为例,在一个示例中,可以将训练图像中位于冠脉中心线以外且属于心脏冠脉的像素点,作为第一目标像素点;由于训练图像的实现形式可以与目标图像的实现形式相同,而上述各公开实施例已经提到,目标图像可以是掩模图像,因此,在一个示例中,可以将训练图像中不属于背景且不属于目标对象的像素点,均作为或是部分作为第一目标像素点。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据训练图像中至少部分像素点的标签,确定第一目标像素点的标签,第一目标像素点的确定方式可以根据实际情况灵活选择,不局限于本公开各实施例。通过上述内容可以看出,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以将训练图像的目标对象中,距离第一目标像素 点最近的目标子对象的标注,作为第一目标像素点的标签。在一个示例中,距离第一目标像素点最近的目标子对象,可以是目标对象中距离第一目标像素点最近的像素点所属的目标子对象。
在得到了第一目标像素点的标签后,还可以通过如上述公开实施例所述的方式,将训练图像中目标对象的标注,直接作为目标图像中对应像素点的标签,从而得到具有密集标签的训练图像,对神经网络进行训练。
以目标对象为冠脉中心线为例对上述过程进行说明,在一个示例中,可以在训练图像中,首先将冠脉中心线上的像素点的标注作为这些像素点的标签,然后将既不属于背景也不属于冠脉中心线的像素点,作为第一目标像素点,对每个第一目标像素点,将冠脉中心线上距离该第一目标像素点最近的像素点的标注,作为该第一目标像素点的标签,继而得到一个包含密集标签的训练图像,通过此包含密集标签的训练图像对神经网络进行训练,可以得到较好的训练结果。
通过上述过程,可以基于包含目标对象标注的训练图像,得到具有密集标签和完整信息的训练图像对神经网络进行训练,从而在不增加标注难度的基础上,提升训练得到的神经网络的精度,继而提升分割结果以及最终得到的目标子对象的名称的准确度。提升图像处理的准确性和便捷性。
通过上述任意公开实施例得到目标图像的分割结果后,可以通过步骤S13,基于分割结果来确定目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称。步骤S13的实现方式不受限定,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以将目标子对象包含的任意像素点的分割结果,作为目标子对象的名称。在一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S13可以包括:
步骤S131,根据分割结果,确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称,其中,第二目标像素点为目标子对象包含的像素点;
步骤S132,统计目标子对象中第二目标像素点的名称,得到统计结果,将统计结果中数量最多的名称,作为目标子对象的名称。
其中,第二目标像素点可以是目标子对象包含的像素点,即目标子对象所覆盖的像素点。在一种可能的实现方式中,由于得到的分割结果可能不是完全准确,因此,对于同一个目标子对象来说,其包含的第二目标像素点的分割结果可能准确,即与对应的目标子对象的名称相同,也可能不准确,即与对应的目标子对象的名称不同;在这种情况下,如果将目标子对象包含的任意一个第二目标像素点的分割结果作为目标子对象的名称,很有可能得到不准确的命名结果。
基于上述原因,在一种可能的实现方式中,对于任意需要确定名称的目标子对象,可以通过步骤S131,来根据分割结果,获得该目标子对象中至少一个第二目标像素点的名称。
步骤S131中获取目标子对象中第二目标像素点的数量,可以根据实际情况灵活决定。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以获取目标子对象包含的每个第二目标像素点,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以对目标子对象包含的第二目标像素点进行随机采样,来获得部分第二目标像素点,如何采样以及采样的数量可以根据实际情况灵活决定,在本公开实施例中不做限制。
无论获得的是部分第二目标像素点还是全部第二目标像素点,均需要根据分割结果来确定获得的第二目标像素点的名称。名称确定的方式可以根据实际情况灵活决定,在一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S131中根据分割结果,确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称,可以包括:
将每一第二目标像素点对应的分割结果,作为每一第二目标像素点的名称;或者,基于每一第二目标像素点预设范围内至少一个像素点的分割结果,确定每一第二目标像素点的名称。
通过上述公开实施例可以看出,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以直接将第二目标像素点的分割结果作为第二目标像素点的名称。
上述公开实施例已经提出,目标图像中像素点的分割结果可能不是完全准确的,在这种情况下,如果将第二目标像素点的分割结果作为第二目标像素点的名称,也可能会出现差错,因此,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据第二目标像素点预设范围内至少一个像素点的分割结果,来确定第二目标像素点的名称。
其中,第二目标像素点的预设范围,可以根据实际情况灵活设定,如第二目标像素点周围的9邻域、16邻域等等,在本公开实施例中不做限制。一般来说,第二目标像素点附近的像素点,与第二目标像素点属于同一目标子对象的概率较大,因此通过这些像素点,可以确定第二目标像素点较为准确的名称。在一个示例中,可以获取第二目标像素点预设范围内包含的每个像素点的分割结果,然后从这些获取到的分割结果中,选择比例最高或是数量最多的分割结果,或是选择比例或是数量超过设定阈值(如比例超过50%等)的分割结果,作为第二目标像素点的名称;在一个示例中,也可以对第二目标像素点预设范围内包含的像素点进行采样,然后从这些采样得到的像素点对应的分割结果中,选择比例最高或是数量最多的分割结果,或是选择比例或是数量超过设定阈值(如比例 超过50%等)的分割结果,作为第二目标像素点的名称。
如上述各公开实施例所述,目标图像中可能存在一些像素点,虽然不属于目标对象,但是可以辅助确定目标子对象的名称,因此,通过基于第二目标像素点预设范围内至少一个像素点的分割结果,确定第二目标像素点的名称,可以有效地引入这些具有辅助功能像素点的分割结果来确定第二目标像素点的名称,提升确定的第二目标像素点的名称的准确性,继而提升确定的目标子对象名称的准确性,从而提升图像处理准确度。
在通过上述任意方式确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称后,可以通过步骤S132,基于第二目标像素点名称的统计结果,来得到目标子对象的名称。其中,步骤S132的实现方式可以根据实际情况灵活决定,比如在统计目标子对象中的每个第二目标像素点或部分第二目标像素点的名称后,可以将这些统计的名称中数量最多的名称作为目标子对象的名称,或是将这些统计的名称中出现比例最高的名称作为目标子对象的名称,或是将这些统计的名称中数量超过预设阈值或是比例超过预设阈值的名称,作为目标子对象的名称,预设阈值的数值在本公开实施例中不做限定,根据实际情况灵活设定即可。
以目标对象为冠脉中心线为例对上述过程进行说明,在一个示例中,可以依次确定冠脉中心线每个冠脉中心线段的名称,对于每个冠脉中心线段来说,可以先遍历其包含的每个像素点即第二目标像素点,确定这些第二目标像素点的名称,确定的方式可以是直接根据其分割结果进行确定,也可以是根据其周围的像素点的分割结果共同确定,参考上述各公开实施例即可,在此不再赘述。在确定了这些第二目标像素点的名称后,可以统计该冠脉中心线段中数量最多或是比例最高的名称,作为该冠脉中心线段的名称。
通过根据分割结果确定至少一个第二目标像素点的名称,并统计确定的第二目标像素点的名称,从而根据统计结果得到目标子对象的名称,通过上述过程,即使目标图像中存在部分像素点的分割结果不准确,也可以基于比例得到较为准确的目标子对象的名称,从而可以提升最终确定的目标子对象的名称的准确性,继而提升图像处理的准确度和精度。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本公开实施例提出的图像处理方法还可以包括:步骤S14,根据至少一个目标子对象的名称,对目标对象进行处理,得到处理结果。
通过上述公开实施例可以看出,在得到了目标图像中至少一个目标子对象的名称后,还可以基于确定的名称,根据实际需求对目标图像中的目标对象进行进一步地处理和优化,得到最终的图像处理结果。如何根据目标子对象的名称进行处理,得到何种处理结果,可以根据实际的图像处理需求灵活决定,详见下述各公开实施例,在此先不做展开。
通过根据至少一个目标子对象的名称对目标对象进行处理,得到处理结果,可以有效地根据目标子对象的名称对目标对象进行进一步地优化,即使之前对目标图像进行分割得到的分割结果准确率较低,从而导致确定的名称存在一定的误差,也可以通过处理进行修正,得到更为准确的处理结果,提升图像处理的精度和鲁棒性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S14可以包括:对目标对象中具有相同名称的目标子对象进行提取;和/或,根据相邻的目标子对象的名称,对目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称进行修正。
其中,对目标对象中具有相同名称的目标子对象进行提取的方式不受限定。在一种可能的实现方式中,在目标对象为冠脉中心线的情况下,由于冠脉中心线可以为树状结构,对于属于同一名称的冠脉中心线段,由于分割的不准确可能导致该冠脉中心线段包含有多个分支。为了得到较为准确的冠脉中心线段,在一个示例中,可以对同一名称下包含多个分支的冠脉中心线段进行提取,选定其中最完整或是最长的一支作为提取结果。图2示出根据本公开一实施例的对目标对象进行提取的示意图,从图2中可以看出,提取前的目标图像21的冠脉中心线中每个冠脉中心线段的名称已确定,且同一名称下包含多个分支的冠脉中心线段;提取后的目标图像22的冠脉中心线中同一名称下仅包含一个分支的冠脉中心线段,例如名称为R-PLB的冠脉中心线段在提取前存在两个分支,经过提取,较短的分支被删除,而仅保留了较长的分支作为提取结果。
根据目标子对象的名称对目标对象进行修正的方式在本公开实施例中也不做限定。在一种可能的实现方式中,在目标对象为冠脉中心线的情况下,冠脉中心线中的部分冠脉中心线段可能存在如下情况:即该冠脉中心线段可能位于两个具有同样名称的其他冠脉中心线段之间,且该冠脉中心线段的名称与这两个其他冠脉中心线段的名称不同。由于冠脉中心线的连续性,该冠脉中心线段的名称很有可能是不准确的,因此,可以基于相邻的其他冠脉中心线段的名称,修改当前冠脉中心线段的名称,使冠脉中心线保持连续性。
步骤S14在实现的过程中,可以同时包含有上述的提取过程和修正过程,也可以根据实际情况 仅包含其中的某个过程,或者也可以包含有其他的修正过程,这些过程在实现过程中的执行顺序也可以根据实际情况灵活选择,如何实现可以根据实际情况灵活决定,不局限于上述各公开实施例。
通过对目标对象中具有相同名称的目标子对象进行提取,和/或,根据相邻的目标子对象的名称对目标对象中至少一个目标子对象的名称进行修正,可以进一步减小由于分割不准确导致的命名结果不准确的情况的发生,提升最终得到的处理结果的准确性,提升图像处理的精度和鲁棒性。
心脑血管疾病是当前致死率最高的疾病之一,其中冠心病发病率最高。冠心病是由于动脉粥样硬化导致冠状动脉管腔狭窄,导致心肌供血不足而引起一系列临床病症,包括心绞痛、心肌梗死、心肌衰竭、心律失常和猝死。因此冠脉狭窄,斑块检测等结果对诊断以及后续治疗有着指导性意义,而基于心脏冠状动脉造影(CTA,Computed Tomography Angiography)图像的冠脉中心线提取是前提。在对冠心病的分析过程中,病变的定位以及医疗报告中的说明分析往往需要依赖于冠脉中心线的命名。
相关技术中的命名方法主要是基于分为两类:第一类基于知识以及建模,该类方法主要基于将目标血管匹配基于统计的通用模型给出命名;第二类基于学习的分类算法,该类方法根据提取人为设计的特征进行中心线分类命名。还有一种方案使用树状双向长短期记忆网络(LSTM,Long Short Term)去学习树状结构信息进行分类命名。无论是基于建模的批评的中心线命名,还是基于规则的树状线命名,这两种相关方案都至少存在设计复杂、泛化能力不足的问题。
血管命名任务主要挑战在于个体之间的巨大差异以及巨大变异度,然而血管命名的临床依据是血管的供血部位,所以核心学习信息应该在于供血部位也就是相对于心脏的血管位置,任何剥离或者损失了心脏相对位置的方法都有一定程度的信息损失从而导致准确率不高、泛化能力弱。
本公开应用示例提出一种基于分割的端到端的命名处理方法。相关技术中大多基于先进行血管分割,再提取中心线,最后进行中心线命名(通过对中心线分类实现)的工作流程。本公开应用示例重新构建问题:将中心线命名的问题重构成血管掩膜图像的实例分割问题,即提取中心线后不直接对中心线进行命名,而是对血管掩膜图像(每一个像素点有确定的标签命名)进行分割,对于分割结果进行投票确定中心线的名称。基于像素点的分割模型训练会提供更为密集的标注及信息,而且为了保存血管的供血位置信息,将心脏各个腔室的掩膜图像叠加在冠脉血管的掩膜图像上面一起作为输入。这样的流程完全保留了所有信息又相比较原图减少了噪音,不需要手动提取特征,不需要基于规则的设计且易于嵌入现有工作流当中。
本公开应用示例包括训练过程和预测过程,其中训练过程包括以下步骤:第一步准备输入:通过分割模型获取心脏冠脉掩膜图像以及全心脏掩膜图像,叠加两个掩膜图像并处理作为最终输入;第二步准备监督数据:首先获取已经正确命名的冠脉中心线,然后将冠脉掩膜图像的每一个像素点标签与距离该冠脉中心线最近的每一段中心线关联;第三步使用Res-Vnet型以及骰子损失进行多标签分割训练。预测过程包括以下步骤:第一步同训练过程的准备输入步骤,即获取作为最终输入的掩膜图像以及提取的冠脉中心线;第二步通过训练好的神经网络进行分割;第三步基于分割对已经提取的中心线段进行投票命名;第四步通过后处理提取出医生关注的目标血管并修正可能的错误。
本公开应用示例将血管中心线命名任务构建成血管掩膜图像分类任务,从而降低了学习难度,提升了中心线命名的鲁棒性。本公开应用示例将血管掩膜图像以及心脏掩膜图像一起作为输入,降低了原图直接学习的难度,并且保留了全部命名所需的全部必要信息,使得基于学习的方法相比较于传统的基于规则的树状线命名算法具有更优的泛化能力。
图3示出根据本公开一应用示例的示意图,如图3所示,本公开实施例提出了一种图像处理方法,这一处理方法可以通过图像处理实现对冠脉中心线的分段命名,该图像处理的过程可以大致分为四个步骤。
第一步,分别获取心脏冠脉掩模图31和心脏掩模图32,并将两个掩模图进行合并,作为合并掩模图。同时并对心脏冠脉掩模图进行中心线提取,得到由多个冠脉中心线段(目标子对象)构成的冠脉中心线作为目标对象。然后将合并掩模图与目标对象进行叠加,得到包括目标对象(冠脉中心线)的目标图像33。
第二步,通过训练好的神经网络34,对目标图像进行分割,得到目标图像中每个前景像素点(即属于心脏冠脉的像素点)的分割结果35。
第三步,根据第二步得到的分割结果,通过投票命名的方式,确定目标图像中冠脉中心线每个冠脉中心线段的名称36,投票命名过程可以为:
对每个冠脉中心线段,确定其包含的像素点作为第二目标像素点,然后统计这些第二目标像素点的分割结果所对应的名称,选择其中数量最多的名称,作为该冠脉中心线段的名称。
第四步,在对每个冠脉中心线段完成命名后,可以通过后处理,对其中包含多个具有同名分支的冠脉中心线段,保留其最完整或长度最长的一支作为最终结果,并对不连续的冠脉中心线段进行修正,比如某中心线段的父节点(父线段)和子节点(子线段)具有相同的名称,但是该冠脉中心线段与他们的名称不一致,则可以将该冠脉中心线段修改为与其父节点和子节点一致的名称。通过上述后处理,得到最终的处理结果37。
在一些可能的实施例中,第二步中用于对目标图像分割的神经网络,其训练过程可以为:首先准备训练图像,训练图像可以与目标图像的形式相同,即将心脏冠脉掩模图像、心脏掩模图像与冠脉中心线进行叠加得到的图像,作为训练图像。
由于训练图像用于对神经网络进行训练,其还需要有监督数据(ground truth),即训练图像中的像素点还需要准备标签。在本公开应用示例中,监督数据的生成方式可以为:首先可以对冠脉中心线通过分段命名进行标注,这样,每个冠脉中心线段中像素点的标签即为对应的冠脉中心线段的标注名称。
然后将训练图像中,属于前景且不属于冠脉中心线段的像素点分别作为第一目标像素点,则可以将冠脉中心线上距离第一目标像素点最近像素点的标签(也是标注),作为该第一目标像素点的标签。
通过上述过程,可以得到包含有标签的训练图像,将这一包含有标签的训练图像输入到神经网络中进行训练,则可以得到训练好的神经网络。在一个示例中,神经网络可以将Res-Vnet神经网络作为基础模型,通过骰子损失作为损失函数进行多标签分割训练,从而得到最终的训练结果。
通过上述过程,可以将冠脉中心线分段命名任务构建成为血管掩膜图像的实例分割任务;同时本公开应用示例中提出的图像处理方法可以将心脏冠脉掩模图像和心脏掩模图像作为输入,比起将心脏冠脉的原图作为输入,简化了输入环境,降低了噪音并保留了所有树状结构信息以及供血位置信息;另外,在命名过程中,对分割结果采用投票机制,使得冠脉中心线段的命名依赖于该段像素点中出现最多的分割标签,即使部分像素点的分割结果不准确,只要正确的分割结果占多数比例,即可得到正确的冠脉中心线命名结果;最后,在基于分割结果进行命名后还进一步对命名结果进行后处理,由于分割结果依赖于训练数据,通过后处理可以在训练数据较少的时候也能保持最终处理结果的鲁棒性。
本公开应用示例的图像处理方法提出新的问题架构,即中心线分段命名任务构建成为血管掩膜图像的实例分割任务;同时提供新的输入思路,比起原图作为输入,该技术将两种掩膜图像作为输入,简化了输入环境,降低了噪音并保留了所有树状结构信息以及供血位置信息;从分割后的结果回到中心线命名,采用投票机制,血管段命名依赖于该段点所述分割标签最多的一类,这样即使分割结果不好只要大体是正确的,中心线命名就会正确;基于先验知识的后处理,学习算法依赖于训练数据,后处理在训练数据较少的时候也能保持最终结果的鲁棒性。
因此,本公开应用示例的创新点至少包括:基于冠脉多标签分割的中心线命名策略;从掩膜图像分割回归到中心线命名的投票策略;以及基于分割结果以及先验知识的后处理方法。本公开应用示例提供的方案为基于端到端的设计,具有流程清晰、准确度更高、鲁棒性强等优点。同时本公开应用示例提供的方案保持了较高的速度,每个患者需要时间约3到5秒。
本公开应用示例至少可以应用于心脑血管疾病辅助诊断、远程医疗诊断、云平台辅助智能诊断、医疗标注平台等方面对心脏冠脉图像的处理。心内科医生在得到患者的心脏冠状动脉造影数据提取中心线后,进行中心线分段命名以用于血管斑块、狭窄检测定位,从而生成结构化报告。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例的图像处理方法不限于应用在上述心脏冠脉图像的处理中,可以应用于任意的图像处理,本公开实施例对此不作限定。例如使用于定义中心线命名为冠脉掩膜图像分割任务的产品,或者包含全心脏掩膜图像以及心脏冠脉掩膜图像作为产品输入等情况属于本公开实施例所保护的范围。
