Technical field
The present invention relates to image enhaucament, noise-removed technology field, specifically a kind of synchronous enhancing denoising method of low-light (level) image
Background technology
Under low-light (level) environment, image capture device obtain image not only can identification low, and containing much noise, the image deterioration that low-light (level) environment causes not only have impact on the identification of human eye to image, also make the computer vision system performances such as intelligent transportation, video monitoring and target identification be subject to larger impact, therefore low-light (level) image to be strengthened and noise reduction process has very important value; The gradation of image coverage collected due to low-light (level) environment is very narrow, and pixel value is in reduced levels, therefore the fundamental purpose strengthened low-light (level) image is the tonal range of expanded view picture, improve the overall brightness of image, so as the image information that originally cannot distinguish can by human eye or machine identify; Traditional image enchancing method can be divided into spatial domain Enhancement Method and the large class of frequency field Enhancement Method two: histogram equalization is classical spatial domain Enhancement Method, it effectively can strengthen picture contrast, but the method may cause brighter pixel supersaturation originally thus lose image structure information; Frequency field Enhancement Method, as wavelet transformation, after picture signal is transformed into frequency domain, processes the effect reaching enhancing to wavelet coefficient; Retinex method is a kind of image enchancing method based on retina cerebral cortex theory, image is divided into luminance graph and reflectogram two parts by it, the effect of enhancing is reached by reducing the impact of luminance graph on reflectogram, along with the proposition of Retinex theory, a large amount of researchers proposes relevant innovatory algorithm successively, as the multiple dimensioned Retinex etc. that single scale Retinex, multiple dimensioned Retinex, band color factor recover, these algorithms all can reach certain enhancing effect.
In recent years, proposition based on the enhancement method of low-illumination image of mist elimination technology opens the new way that low-light (level) strengthens, by the similarity of the reverse image and Misty Image that compare low-light (level) image, use dark primary defogging method capable to carry out process the low-light (level) frame of video of reversion and can obtain good visual effect, not only grey level is low also has the high feature of noise content for low-light (level) image, and most Enhancement Method noise while carrying out intensity-conversion also can amplify thereupon; There is a lot of research can complete enhancing and the denoising of image respectively at present, but for the enhancing of low-light (level) characteristics of image and denoising method little, enhancement method of low-illumination image based on dark primary mist elimination technology effectively can promote picture contrast, detailed information in outstanding image, but have the impact not considering noise due to dark primary mist elimination technology, cause strengthening rear noise and be significantly enlarged.
Application number is that the Chinese invention patent of CN201510260607 discloses a kind of video monitoring and the acquisition system that possess image enhancement functions, comprise the image acquiring device for obtaining image, analog-digital commutator AD, for strengthening to carrying out through analog-to-digital data image signal the image processing module processed, digiverter DA, video storage modules, monitor terminal, and for controlling the control axis module of whole system running status, the video monitoring of this invention and acquisition system adopt Embedded Hardware Platform, and software algorithm is optimized, thus the volume of image processing hardware equipment and power consumption are all greatly reduced, Real-time image enhancement can be realized, and convenient integrated with image capture device, modular design is also conducive to functional module and freely arranges in pairs or groups, more be applicable to application scenario, reduce purchase cost.
Application number is that the Chinese invention patent of CN201510329457 discloses a kind of grayscale image enhancement method based on retinal mechanisms, idiographic flow comprise estimate overall brightness determination algorithm auto-adaptive parameter, synthetic image brightness mapping graph, calculate brightness and strengthen image and Edge Enhancement process, first by the Luminance Distribution situation of overall dark areas, auto-adaptive parameter is estimated; Then respectively image is carried out to the brightness enhancing process of the overall situation, and drawn the modulation mapping graph of picture in its entirety by modulating function, calculate the result that brightness strengthens; The last Gaussian difference model based on adaptive scale realizes the enhancing at edge, and model dimension affected by contrast, and finally can strengthen more tiny texture information in bright areas, dark area then strengthens larger profile information.
Though above-mentioned invention disclosed can effectively be carried out contrast strengthen to image but all not consider the impact of noise conditions on image enhaucament, therefore, need to carry out creationary improvement to prior art.
