基于上下文Transformer的低光照图像增强网络

由于现实环境中明暗光照的剧烈变化,现有的低光照图像增强方法往往会导致增强后的图像亮度和对比度不足,出现伪影和模糊等情况。此外,当前的低光照图像增强工作仅针对于图像亮度的提升,而对于噪声影响的处理较少,这些都不利于低光图像的增强。为了解决上述问题,论文提出了一种基于上下文Transformer的低光照图像增强算法。具体地,论文首先利用动态卷积网络对低光照图像进行特征提取;接着,设计了上下文Transformer对得到的特征图进行全局关联的深层特征提取,并使用金字塔池化模块进行去噪处理;最后,通过瓶颈结构的卷积网络输出得到增强后的图像。在多个主流数据集(LOL,LIME,DICM等)上的对比实验结果表明,与目前已有的主流工作相比,论文所提方法的结果不仅在主观视觉上有更好的视觉效果,更加符合人眼的视觉特点;而且在各种定量客观评价指标上也有良好的表现,尤其在PSNR和SSIM两个指标上有明显的提升。

结合注意引导网络的弱光图像增强算法

弱光图像增强具有挑战性,不仅需要考虑亮度恢复,还需要考虑色彩失真和噪声等复杂问题。简单地调整弱光图像的亮度将不可避免的放大这些伪影。为了解决这些难题,一种带有注意引导分支的端到端弱光增强网络(attention guided low light enhancement network,AGNet)被提出。AGNet由注意引导网络和弱光增强网络两部分组成。注意引导网络被用来学习弱光图像中的照度-注意映射,并将其应用于弱光增强网络,以指导图像亮度增强和去噪任务。弱光增强网络由多尺度卷积和残差块构成,通过特征金字塔结构从多个尺度来提取弱光图像中的细节和纹理特征。此外,网络中还引入了多尺度色彩矫正模块(multi-scale color recalibration module,MCRM),以进一步增强了输出图像的颜色和对比度。实验结果表明,AGNet在主流弱光数据集上(LOL-v1和LOL-v2-synthetic)不仅在客观指标上领先(两个数据集的PSNR提高了2.13/2.52),而且在主观比较上也具有优势。

Underwater Image Enhancement Based on Multi-scale Adversarial Network

In this study,an underwater image enhancement method based on multi-scale adversarial network was proposed to solve the problem of detail blur and color distortion in underwater images.Firstly,the local features of each layer were enhanced into the global features by the proposed residual dense block,which ensured that the generated images retain more details.Secondly,a multi-scale structure was adopted to extract multi-scale semantic features of the original images.Finally,the features obtained from the dual channels were fused by an adaptive fusion module to further optimize the features.The discriminant network adopted the structure of the Markov discriminator.In addition,by constructing mean square error,structural similarity,and perceived color loss function,the generated image is consistent with the reference image in structure,color,and content.The experimental results showed that the enhanced underwater image deblurring effect of the proposed algorithm was good and the problem of underwater image color bias was effectively improved.In both subjective and objective evaluation indexes,the experimental results of the proposed algorithm are better than those of the comparison algorithm.

An ECT System Based on Improved RBF Network and Adaptive Wavelet Image Enhancement for Solid/Gas Two-phase Flow

Electrical capacitance tomography(ECT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that aims at visualizing the cross-sectional permittivity distribution and phase distribution of solid/gas two-phase flow based on the measured capacitance.To solve the nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem:image reconstruction of ECT system,this paper proposed a new image reconstruction method based on improved radial basis function(RBF) neural network combined with adaptive wavelet image enhancement.Firstly,an improved RBF network was applied to establish the mapping model between the reconstruction image pixels and the capacitance values measured.Then,for better image quality,adaptive wavelet image enhancement technique was emphatically analyzed and studied,which belongs to a space-frequency analysis method and is suitable for image feature-enhanced.Through multi-level wavelet decomposition,edge points of the image produced from RBF network can be determined based on the neighborhood property of each sub-band;noise distribution in the space-frequency domain can be estimated based on statistical characteristics;after that a self-adaptive edge enhancement gain can be constructed.Finally,the image is reconstructed with adjusting wavelet coefficients.In this paper,a 12-electrode ECT system and a pneumatic conveying platform were built up to verify this image reconstruction algorithm.Experimental results demonstrated that adaptive wavelet image enhancement technique effectively implemented edge detection and image enhancement,and the improved RBF network and adaptive wavelet image enhancement hybrid algorithm greatly improved the quality of reconstructed image of solid/gas two-phase flow [pulverized coal(PC)/air].
