Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. Furthermore, various embodiments or examples and features of different embodiments or examples described in this specification can be combined and combined by one skilled in the art without contradiction.

Typically, a continuously captured video is composed of a series of time point corresponding images over a continuous period of time. The frame images are ordered according to time to obtain a continuous frame image time sequence, and when the frame images are played, the original time points are restored, and each frame image is played in sequence, so that a continuous dynamic video can be formed.
the frame image at time t represents a frame image for display at a certain time, and time t +1 represents a frame image for display at the next time, where t represents the sequence number of the frame image at the time in the continuous frame image time sequence, and is a natural number.
The optical flow is the moving speed and moving direction of each pixel in a continuous time series of frame images from the frame image at time t to the frame image at time t + 1.
For example, in the frame image at time t, the position of the pixel point a is (x1, y 1); if the position of the pixel point a in the frame image at time t +1 is (x2, y2), it indicates that the pixel point a has moved from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2), and if (x2, y2) - (x1, y1) ═ (ux, vy), the optical flow from the frame image at time t to the frame image at time t +1 is: (ux, vy).
Determining the optical flow from the frame image at the time t to the frame image at the time t +1, and converting (warp) the frame image at the time t +1 and the optical flow to obtain the frame image at the time t; or converting the frame image at the time t and the optical flow to obtain a frame image at the time t + 1. By utilizing the method, namely the optical flow method, the frame insertion can be carried out on the frame image time sequence of the original video, and a more dense frame image time sequence is obtained, so that the video is more smooth in playing.
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of frame interpolation using the existing optical flow method. Firstly, performing optical flow operation according to a frame image at a time t-1 and a frame image at a time t +1 to respectively obtain an optical flow from the frame image at the time t-1 to the frame image at the time t +1 and an optical flow from the frame image at the time t +1 to the frame image at the time t-1; then, carrying out linear estimation according to the optical flow from the frame image at the t-1 moment to the frame image at the t +1 moment and the frame image at the t-1 moment to obtain a first frame image at the t moment, and carrying out linear estimation according to the optical flow from the frame image at the t +1 moment to the frame image at the t-1 moment and the frame image at the t +1 moment to obtain a second frame image at the t moment; and then, synthesizing the first t-time frame image and the second t-time frame image to obtain a synthesized t-time frame image. The synthesized frame image at the time t can be inserted between the frame image at the time t-1 and the frame image at the time t +1, so that the video is smoother.
However, the above-mentioned optical flow method of frame interpolation has a high requirement for accuracy of optical flow prediction, and when the accuracy is insufficient, an image is blurred; the optical flow method requires constant brightness, and the image is distorted when the illumination condition changes.
To this end, the present application provides an image processing method as shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes: operation 210, performing optical flow operation according to a first frame image at a time t-1 and a second frame image at a time t +1 to obtain a first optical flow and a second optical flow respectively, where t is a natural number, where the first optical flow is an optical flow from a frame image at the time t-1 to a frame image at the time t +1, and the second optical flow is an optical flow from the frame image at the time t +1 to the frame image at the time t-1; operation 220, performing a depth operation according to the first frame image and the second frame image to obtain a first depth and a second depth, respectively; an operation 230 of determining a first predicted frame image from the first frame image, the first optical flow, and the first depth; an operation 240 of determining a second predicted frame image according to the second frame image, the second optical flow, and the second depth; in operation 250, the first predicted frame image and the second predicted frame image are synthesized to obtain a third predicted frame image.
Operation 210 is similar to the conventional optical flow method in which optical flow calculation is performed according to the frame image at the time t-1 and the frame image at the time t +1 to obtain an optical flow from the frame image at the time t-1 to the frame image at the time t +1 and an optical flow from the frame image at the time t +1 to the frame image at the time t-1, and therefore details are not repeated.
However, unlike the conventional optical flow method, the embodiment of the present application performs operation 220 in addition to operation 210, and performs a depth operation based on the first frame image at time t-1 and the second frame image at time t +1 to obtain a first depth and a second depth. The first depth is obtained by performing depth operation on the first frame image; the second depth is a depth obtained by performing a depth operation on the first frame image.
When a video is captured, a three-dimensional image is projected onto a two-dimensional plane to form a two-dimensional frame image. And the depth is a numerical value indicating the distance between the subject and the lens. The depth calculation refers to a process of obtaining a pixel depth by performing a computer operation (for example, depth calculation according to a formula, depth prediction according to a depth estimation model, or the like) on a two-dimensional picture, and corresponds to an inverse process of a photographing process.
Generally, when a shot object is far away from a lens, the projection is small, and the gray scale is low; when the shot object is close to the lens, the projection is large, and the gray scale is high. Therefore, the probability of a certain pixel point can be judged according to the depth value. For example, if the depth of a certain pixel point is large, that is, the pixel point is far from the lens when being shot, the probability of the occurrence of the certain pixel point is low; conversely, if the depth of a certain pixel point is small, that is, the pixel point is closer to the lens when being shot, the probability of the occurrence of the certain pixel point is high.
In operation 230, an estimated frame image at time t, that is, a first frame image at time t, may be obtained by performing a conversion according to the first frame image and the first optical flow, and then the occurrence probability of each pixel may be obtained by performing a depth operation on the first frame image, and the pixel of the estimated frame image at time t may be enhanced or weakened according to the occurrence probability of each pixel, so as to obtain a first predicted frame image that is clearer, more reasonable, and closer to a real frame image.
Similarly, in operation 240, a conversion may be performed according to the second frame image and the second optical flow, and an estimated frame image at the time t, that is, a frame image at the time t is also obtained, and then the occurrence probability of each pixel point is obtained through a depth operation of the second frame image, and the pixel points of the estimated frame image at the time t are enhanced or weakened according to the occurrence probability of each pixel point, so that a second predicted frame image that is clearer, more reasonable, and closer to the real frame image may be obtained.
Then, according to operation 250, the first predicted frame image and the second predicted frame image are synthesized to obtain a third predicted frame image.
Fig. 3 shows a specific flowchart of another embodiment of the present application to which the above image processing method is applied. The operation shown on the left side of fig. 3 is similar to the conventional optical flow method and will not be described again. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a depth operation (see operation 220 in detail) is added as shown in the right part of fig. 3, and the probability operation is performed on the 2 t-time frame images (the first t-time frame image and the second t-time frame image) at time t obtained according to the optical flow method through the first depth and the second depth obtained by the depth operation to obtain the prediction frame images (the first prediction frame image and the second prediction frame image) subjected to the probability operation processing, see operations 203 and 204 in detail; then, a frame synthesis is performed in operation 205 to obtain a synthesized predicted frame image (third predicted frame image).
In this embodiment, the first depth and the second depth are obtained according to the first frame image at the time t-1, the second frame image at the time t +1, and the depth network model. The depth can be estimated from a single picture through a depth network by using a machine learning method, so that the method is quick and effective.
In addition, when the depth is obtained through the deep network, the granularity (coarse granularity or fine granularity) of the deep network can be controlled through the learning rate defined in the training process.
The operation of depth operation is increased, and the depth is converted into the probability of pixel occurrence; then, according to the pixel probability, the probability operation is performed on the frame image at the time t (which may be defined as a fourth predicted frame image) to obtain a predicted frame image subjected to the operation processing. The first prediction frame image and the second prediction frame image which are processed through the operation are clearer, more reasonable and closer to a real frame image than the first t moment frame image and the second t moment frame image which are processed through the operation.
The larger the depth value is, the farther a shot object is away from a lens, and the lower the probability of pixel points is; the smaller the depth value is, the closer the shot object is to the lens, and the higher the probability of the pixel point is. In this embodiment, a value between (0, 1) is obtained by performing a monotonicity-opposite function operation on the first depth to represent the occurrence probability of each pixel.
The function with the opposite monotonicity represents a function with an opposite relationship between a change in a function value and a change in an argument, for example, an inversely proportional function.
The probability operation is a multiplication operation performed by using the occurrence probability of each pixel point and the fourth predicted frame image.
Accordingly, the predicted frame image synthesized in fig. 3 is also closer to the real frame image than the frame image at time t synthesized for the frame image at time t in fig. 1 and the frame image at time t. The synthesized predicted frame image in fig. 3 is used as the frame image at the time t and inserted between the frame image at the time t-1 and the frame image at the time t-2, so that the video picture can be smoother and the watching experience is better.
Fig. 4 shows a specific flowchart of another embodiment to which the above-described image processing method is applied. This embodiment is used to: test operation and operation results in the automatic test process are drawn as screenshots, and the screenshots are sent to the background every n milliseconds (for example, 1000 milliseconds). After the background receives the screenshot, the background carries out frame insertion by using the image processing method, and the smooth and complete user operation video is restored and synthesized for the research and development personnel to locate the problem scene.
Since the image processing method is based on the optical flow method and the depth estimation, the method is particularly suitable for a test scene comprising the following operations: mouse moving operation; keyboard input operation and option selection operation.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, all operations shown in fig. 3 are implemented by the first frame prediction model to complete the frame prediction, wherein the optical flow operation is performed by the optical flow prediction model, and the depth operation is performed by the depth prediction model.
As shown in fig. 4, the process of performing frame interpolation by applying the image processing method in the embodiment of the present application includes: inputting the frame image at the time t-1 and the frame image at the time t-2 into a first frame prediction model, completing the frame prediction flow shown in fig. 3 by the first frame prediction model, and outputting a third predicted frame image (a synthesized predicted frame image); then, inputting the third predicted frame image into a second frame prediction model, wherein the second frame prediction model is a generative confrontation neural network model, and a fifth predicted frame image is generated by the second frame prediction model according to the third predicted frame image; then, a fifth predicted frame image is inserted between the frame image at time t-1 and the frame image at time t-2 as the frame image at time t.
In the application scenario of this embodiment, the frame image needs to be sent to the background server through the communication network, so that before the frame synthesis, the operation of compressing and decompressing the predicted frame image subjected to the probability operation processing by the frame compression and decompression network is further added, so that the data amount transmitted by the network can be reduced as much as possible, and the transmission bandwidth can be saved.
In addition, due to factors such as unstable display voltage of the screen, the brightness may change during the test process, and at this time, a frame image may deform and even an unreasonable frame image may be generated, so that the image may jump and shake, and even a real image at an error moment during the test may not be captured.
For this purpose, the frame interpolation method shown in fig. 4 further adds a second frame prediction model after the third predicted frame image is output by the first prediction model, and determines a fifth predicted frame image according to the third frame image and the second frame prediction model.
Wherein the second frame prediction model is a generative confrontation neural network model, and the generative model and the discriminant model of the generative confrontation neural network model generate the network model based on the same image. Therefore, the fifth frame of image generated by the second frame prediction model can accord with the motion rule and the image logic of the pixel points, so that the inserted frame of image is more reasonable and better connected with the previous frame and the next frame.
In order to make the embodiment shown in fig. 4 capable of performing frame image prediction with higher accuracy, the embodiment also performs three-stage model training as shown in fig. 5.
Wherein, in the training process of the optical flow prediction model, the depth prediction model and the generative antagonistic neural network model, the weight of pre-training is also used. As shown in fig. 5, the specific training process includes:
and the first training stage is used for pre-training an optical flow prediction model and a depth prediction model in the first frame prediction model.
The learning rate during pre-training can be set to a smaller learning rate for coarse-grained depth prediction.
Inputting training data (a frame image at the t-1 moment and a frame image at the t +1 moment marked with a real frame image at the t moment) into a first frame prediction model, performing model operation by the first frame prediction model, outputting a predicted frame image, comparing the predicted frame image with the marked real frame image, calculating a loss function and optimizing the first frame prediction model.
The loss function may use EPE to calculate an average value of difference distances (euclidean distances) between the true values and the predicted values of all the pixel points.
And after the first-stage training is finished, locking model parameters of the optical flow prediction model and the depth prediction model.
And the second training stage is used for carrying out countermeasure training on the generative countermeasure neural network model in the second frame prediction model.
The training data used for carrying out the countermeasure training on the generative countermeasure neural network model in the second frame prediction model comprises the following steps:
taking the real frame image at the time t, the frame image at the time t-1, the frame image at the time t +1 and other real frame images in the continuous frame image time sequence as the input of a generation model of a second frame prediction model, setting a training label to be 1, and training the generation model of the second frame prediction model;
taking the result of the first frame prediction model as the input of the generation model of the second frame prediction model, setting the training label as 1, and training the generation model of the second frame prediction model;
and taking the result of the first frame prediction model as the input of the discrimination model of the second frame prediction model, setting the training label to be 0, and training the discrimination model of the second frame prediction model.
And alternately training the generation model and the discrimination model of the second frame prediction model by using the training data, calculating and calculating a generation type antagonistic neural network loss function after each training, and optimizing the second frame prediction model until convergence.
Wherein, when the second frame prediction model is trained, Binary Cross Entropy (BCE) can be used as a loss function of the generative countermeasure neural network.
As described above, since the generation model and the discrimination stage of the generative antagonistic neural network generate the network model based on the same image, when the training reaches equilibrium, that is, when the discrimination module has not discriminated that the generated picture is false, the generated predicted frame image must be an image frame reasonably connected with the previous and subsequent frames.
