Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for removing an image shadow of an unmanned aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiment provides a method for removing an unmanned aerial vehicle image shadow, which specifically comprises the following steps:
s1: and acquiring images, and acquiring original images by adopting an unmanned aerial vehicle to acquire high-altitude images.
The camera carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle is used for shooting the set area at high altitude so as to obtain the original image. The initial parameters of the raw imagery are determined based on the performance parameters of the cameras, the altitude and position of the drone and the operational needs. In this embodiment, the original image obtained is an image of 2000 ten thousand pixels with a resolution of 5472 × 3648.
S2: and (5) image enhancement, namely enhancing the original image by utilizing an enhancement algorithm to form an enhanced image.
The enhancement algorithm is mainly used for enhancing the brightness of the image, so that the shadow area can express related objects, such as houses, roads, slopes and the like, and can be clearly identified. There are various image enhancement algorithms, in this embodiment, a Retinex algorithm is used for enhancement, and in order to show that the effect of enhancement by the Retinex algorithm is better than that of other enhancement methods, this embodiment also compares an original image, an image processed by a histogram equalization enhancement algorithm, an image enhanced by the Retinex algorithm, and an image enhanced by Mask light equalization. The result is shown in fig. 2, in which 2.1 is the original image, 2.2 is the image processed by histogram equalization enhancement algorithm, 2.3 is the image enhanced by Retinex algorithm, and 2.4 is the image enhanced by Mask dodging. Compared with other influences, the influence obtained by adopting the Retinex algorithm is greatly improved in quality, buildings in shadow areas are clearly visible, and the outline of a target object is clear.
Meanwhile, quantitative analysis is performed on the four influences, and comparison after image enhancement is performed by respectively adopting the average gradient value, the variance and the information entropy, and the result is shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003438520890000051
Thus, the following steps are carried out: due to underexposure of the original image, the texture information is compressed, and the average gradient value, variance and information entropy of the image are relatively low. The image is enhanced by three classical enhancement algorithms, three indexes are greatly improved, wherein the S value, the IE value and the MG value of the image after the image is enhanced by the Retinex algorithm are the largest in the three methods, which shows that the Retinex algorithm is optimal, the image after the image is enhanced has clear ground object targets, the landslide reinforcement position and the texture of the building are also clear, and the vegetation texture on the mountain is relatively clear compared with the other three algorithms.
Meanwhile, the LOG operator is used to extract the feature of the feature edge of the original image and the image enhanced by the Retinex algorithm, and the result is shown in fig. 3, where 3.1 is the feature map of the feature edge of the feature extracted from the original image, and 3.2 is the feature map of the feature edge of the feature extracted from the image enhanced by the Retinex algorithm.
Therefore, the following steps are carried out: the original image ground object edge feature extraction is poor, and large-area cavities appear in mountains. The Retinex algorithm is used for image enhancement, the condition of insufficient image exposure under a weak light source can be improved, the recognition degree of image features is improved, the extracted edge features are rich, and a large amount of edge information is extracted from mountains.
S3: and color transformation, namely transforming the color space of the enhanced image to form a transformed image.
The image after enhancement has uneven brightness, and further processing is required to improve the quality of the image. In this embodiment, the color space of the enhanced image is first converted from RGB to HSV, so as to complete the conversion of the color space and prepare for the next adjustment of the brightness.
S4: and color correction, namely performing color correction on the converted image by using a processing function to form a corrected image.
The color correction is to adjust the brightness of the image to eliminate the non-uniformity of the brightness, so that the brightness of the whole image is smooth, which is beneficial to target finding and further data processing. The color correction method includes various methods, including processing by using an arithmetic function, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional gamma function is used to process the transformed image.
S5: and (5) image inversion, namely performing color inverse transformation on the corrected image to form a final image.
After the brightness adjustment is completed, the color of the corrected image is converted from HSV color space to RGB color space, and the final image is synthesized.
The present embodiment provides a specific implementation:
the image is obtained by adopting a Dajiang eidolon 4Pro unmanned aerial vehicle (the flying platform of the unmanned aerial vehicle is relatively stable compared with other unmanned aerial vehicles and is convenient to operate and control), the takeoff weight is 1388g, the maximum flight time is about 23 minutes, the number of 1-inch CMOS effective pixels is 2000 ten thousand, the image resolution is 5472 multiplied by 3648, the lens focal length is 35mm, the aperture f/2.8-f/11 has automatic focusing, the maximum rising speed is 6m/s, the maximum flight height is 6000m, and the GPS/GLONASS dual-mode satellite positioning mode is adopted. Unmanned aerial vehicle is at the flight in-process, because sheltering from of massif, the shadow exists in the unmanned aerial vehicle image of acquireing.
The unmanned aerial vehicle image is loaded, as the original image shown in fig. 4, and image enhancement is performed by using a Retinex algorithm, and the enhancement result is shown in fig. 5. In the enhanced unmanned aerial vehicle image, the shadow area is improved greatly, the brightness of the image in the shadow area is improved greatly, the target object in the shadow area can be identified clearly, but the enhanced image has the phenomena of texture distortion and color distortion. The enhanced unmanned aerial vehicle image is subjected to color conversion, RGB (red, green, blue) colors are converted into HSV (hue, saturation, value) components, the converted brightness image is subjected to color correction, the image subjected to color correction is subjected to inverse operation and synthesized into a new image, as shown in figure 6, the image subjected to two-dimensional gamma function correction has uniform brightness, and the texture features of the image are clear.
The feature edge feature extraction is performed on the image after the brightness correction by using the gaussian-laplacian operator, and simultaneously the feature edge is compared with the edge feature of the original image, as shown in fig. 7, where fig. 7.1 is the edge feature of the original image, and fig. 7.2 is the edge feature of the image after the brightness correction.
As can be seen from fig. 7.1, the original image has no shadow region, rich texture, obvious edge features, and the shadow region, and the extracted edge features show holes, which indicates that the edge features are not clear and the contour of the target object cannot be extracted. As can be seen from fig. 7.2, the corrected image of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is the image of the original shadow region, can now extract more obvious edge features, which indicates that the method for removing the shadow region and correcting the brightness has an obvious effect.
In summary, the embodiments provided by the present invention have the following main effective effects:
by adopting the improved Retinex algorithm to carry out combined image processing, after the Retinex algorithm is used for enhancement, the brightness is adjusted under the condition of changing color space aiming at the condition of uneven brightness generated by enhancement, and finally a high-quality image is formed, thereby providing a reliable data basis for the development of subsequent work.
The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above examples only show several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
