Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to unmanned aerial vehicle field and, more particularly, to an image processing method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium.

BACKGROUND

A dynamic range of an image refers to the ratio of the highest brightness value to the lowest brightness value in a natural scene. With the development of sensor technologies, current cameras can obtain up to 16 bits of data, but most display devices can only display 8 bits of data. When a high dynamic range image needs to be displayed on a low dynamic range display device, tone mapping of the high dynamic range image is required.

In the existing technology, a method for performing tone mapping on a high dynamic range image includes a global tone mapping method and a local tone mapping method, however, both the global tone mapping method and the local tone mapping method perform tone mapping on the luminance information of the high dynamic range image, which lead to a difficulty in retaining the color information of the high dynamic range image in the low dynamic range image after tone mapping, and a offset in color in the low dynamic range image compared to the high dynamic range image.

In accordance with the disclosure, there is provided an image processing method. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an example image processing method consistent with embodiments of the disclosure. The method can be implemented by, e.g., an image processing device, which can be arranged at an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or at a ground station.

The user holds the photographing device, and the image processing device of the photographing device processes the image captured by the photographing device. In the embodiments, the application scenarios are not restricted. The image processing method is described in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 1, at S101, an original image is pre-processed to obtain a first image (also referred to as a “pre-processed image”).

In the embodiment, an image processing device first pre-processes an original image to obtain a first image. The original image is an image that needs image processing. In some embodiments, the original image may be an individual image frame captured by a photographing device, and may be one image frame of a plurality of continuous image frames in video data captured by a photographing device. In the embodiment, the source of the original image is not restricted.

In some embodiments, obtaining the first image by pre-processing the original image includes converting the original image into red, green, and blue (RGB) space (i.e., converting the original image from an original color space into RGB space) to obtain a second image (also referred to as an “RGB image”), and globally adjusting the second image to obtain the first image. The first image includes R channel data, G channel data, and B channel data.

In the embodiment, the original image is denoted as L, which is converted into the RGB space to obtain the second image. In some embodiments, the original image is a high dynamic range image and the second image obtained by converting the original image into the RGB space is also a high dynamic range image. The second image is denoted as L_i, i∈r, g, b, where L_r denotes the R channel data of the second image, L_g denotes the G channel data of the second image, and L_b denotes the B channel data of the second image. The second image L_i is globally adjusted to obtain the first image, and the first image is denoted as L_i′, i∈r, g, b. The global adjustment method can include obtaining the first image L_i′, i∈r, g, b by global adjustment of the high dynamic range image, i.e., the second image L_i, using a log curve. The specific adjustment method is shown in formula (1):

L _i′=log(L_i*10⁶+1)   (1)

where, i∈r, g, b, L_r denotes the R channel data of the second image before the global adjustment, L_g denotes the G channel data of the second image before the global adjustment, L_b denotes the B channel data of the second image before the global adjustment, L_r′ denotes the R channel data of the first image after the global adjustment, T_g′ denotes the G channel data of the first image after the global adjustment, and L_b′ denotes the B channel data of the first image after the global adjustment.

At S102, the first image is decomposed into multiple first sub-images.

In some embodiments, the first image L_i′, i∈r, g, b is decomposed into the plurality of first sub-images. A first sub-image is denoted as X_i, i∈r, g, b, where x_r denotes the R channel data of the first sub-image, X_g denotes the G channel data of the first sub-image, and X_b denotes the B channel data of the first sub-image. In some embodiments, the first image L_i′, i∈r, g, b is decomposed into the plurality of first sub-images by a sliding window method. The mean value m_r of the first sub-images in R channel can be calculated according to the R channel data x_r of the first sub-images, the mean value m_g of the first sub-images in the G channel can be calculated according to the G channel data X_g of the first sub-images, and the mean value m_b of the first sub-images in the B channel can be calculated according to the B channel data X_b of the first sub-images. The mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel are denoted as m_i, i∈r, g, b. The overall mean value of the first sub-images in the three channels of R channel, G channel, and B channel is denoted as m, and m can be determined by using following formula (2):

m=(m_r+m_g+m_b)/3   (2)

At S103, detail information, color information, and mean value information of each first sub-image of the plurality of first sub-images are determined.

In the embodiment, each first sub-image of the plurality of first sub-images can be decomposed into 3 parts, and the 3 parts are detail part, color part, and mean value part. The detail part corresponds to the detail information of the first sub-images, the color part corresponds to the color information of the first sub-images, and the mean value part corresponds to the mean value information of the first sub-images. The detail information can be expressed as formula (3), the color information can be expressed as formula (4), and the mean value information is the overall mean value m of the first sub-images in three channels of the R channel, G channel, and B channel.

X _i =X_i−m_i,i∈r,g,b   (3)

where X_r denotes the detail information of the first sub-images in R channel, X_g denotes the detail information of the first sub-images in G channel, and X_b denotes the detail information of the first sub-images in B channel.

m _i =m_i−m,i∈r,g,b   (4)

where m_r denotes the color information of the first sub-images in R channel, m_g denotes the color information of the first sub-images in G channel, and m_b denotes the color information of the first sub-images in B channel.

At S104, the first sub-images are compressed according to the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information to obtain the plurality of second sub-images.

In some embodiments, each of the first sub-images is compressed according to detail information X_i, color information m_i, and mean value information m of the first sub-image to obtain a second sub-image corresponding to the first sub-image, i.e., the plurality of second sub-images are generated by compressing the plurality of first sub-images.

In some embodiments, compressing the plurality of first sub-images according to the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information to generate the plurality of second sub-images includes non-linearly compressing the color information and the detail information of each first sub-image and linearly compressing the mean value information of the first sub-image to obtain the corresponding second sub-image.

Specifically, when any one of the first sub-images is compressed, the color information and detail information of the first sub-image can be non-linearly compressed, and the mean value information of the first sub-image can be linearly compressed, so that the corresponding second sub-image of the first sub-image is obtained. In general, each first sub-image can be compressed in the same way so that the second sub-image corresponding to that first sub-image is obtained, i.e., the plurality of second sub-images are generated.

At S105, the target image is determined according to the plurality of second sub-images.

As shown in FIG. 2, reference numeral 20 indicates the first image. According to S102, the first image is decomposed into the plurality of first sub-images, such as the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24. This is only a schematic illustration and does not limit the specific number of the first sub-images. According to S103, the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 21, the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 22, the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 23, and the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 24 are determined. According to S104, the first sub-image 21 is compressed to obtain the second sub-image 210 according to the detail information, color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22 is compressed to obtain the second sub-image 220 according to the detail information, color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23 is compressed to obtain the second sub-image 230 according to the detail information, color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24 is compressed to obtain the second sub-image 240 according to the detail information, color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image 24.

Determining the target image according to the plurality of second sub-images includes forming a third image by arranging the second sub-images corresponding to the first sub-images according to the positions of the first sub-images in the first image, and mapping the pixel value of each pixel in the third image to the dynamic range of a display device to obtain the target image. In this disclosure, the third image is also referred to as a “composed image.”

As shown in FIG. 2, the first sub-image 21 is at the top left corner of the first image 20, the first sub-image 22 is at the top right corner in the first image 20, the first sub-image 23 is at the bottom left corner in the first image 20, and the first sub-image 24 is at the bottom right corner in the first image 20. The second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240 are arranged to form the third image 200 according to the positions of the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24 in the first image. In some embodiments, the position of the second sub-image 210 in the third image 200 is the same as the position of the first sub-image 21 in the first image 20, the position of the second sub-image 220 in the third image 200 is the same as the position of the first sub-image 22 in the first image 20, the position of the second sub-image 230 in the third image 200 is the same as the position of the first sub-image 23 in the first image 20, and the position of the second sub-image 240 in the third image 200 is the same as the position of the first sub-image 21 in the first image 20. In some embodiments, the third image 200 formed by the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240 is a low dynamic range image, and the pixel value of each pixel in the third image 200 is from 0 to 1. That is, compressing the plurality of first sub-images are compressed to generate the plurality of second sub-images according to the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information can be equivalent to normalizing the pixel value of each pixel in the first sub-images to obtain the second sub-images with pixel values from 0 to 1.

After the third image 200 is obtained, the pixel value of each pixel in the third image 200 can be mapped to the dynamic range of the display device. For example, the dynamic range of the display device is 8 bit, thus the pixel value of each pixel in the third image 200 can be stretched to the range of 0-255 to obtain the target image. That is, the pixel values in the range 0-1 are mapped to the range 0-255.

In the embodiment, the original image is a high dynamic range image and the target image is a low dynamic range image.

In some other embodiments, before mapping the pixel value of each pixel in the third image to the dynamic range of the display device, the process also includes adjusting the pixel values of the pixels in the third image to improve the contrast of the third image.

Since the pixel value of each pixel in the third image 200 is from 0 to 1, the pixel values of the pixels in the third image 200 can be adjusted to improve the contrast of the third image 200. The specific adjustment method can include compressing the pixel values of the brightest and the darkest pixels according to a pre-set compression ratio. For example, the pre-set ratio can be 10%. Since the pixel value of each pixel in the third image 200 is 1 at maximum, the pixels with the pixel values smaller than 1*10% is set to 0 and the pixels with the pixel values larger than 1*(1−10%) is set to 1.

In some embodiments, after the third image 200 is formed by arranging the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240, weighting process is performed on the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240. The reason for performing the weighting process is that the sliding window method is used to decompose the first image into a plurality of first sub-images. In certain sliding window method, adjacent first sub-images may overlap with each other. That is, two adjacent ones of the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24 may overlap with each other. After the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24 are compressed individually to obtain the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240, the overlaps may still exist between two adjacent ones of the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240. To prevent the overlaps from affecting the picture quality of the third image 200, the weighting process is implemented on the second sub-image 210, the second sub-image 220, the second sub-image 230, and the second sub-image 240 in the third image 200 to reduce or eliminate the overlaps between the two adjacent second sub-images.

In the embodiment, the first image is obtained by pre-processing the original image and the first image is decomposed into the plurality of first sub-images. Each first sub-image is compressed to generate a corresponding second sub-image according to the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-image and the target image is determined according to the plurality of second sub-images. When the tone mapping is performed on the high dynamic range image, not only tone mapping is performed on the brightness information, but also the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information are compressed at the same time to ensure that the low dynamic range image retains the color information of the high dynamic range image after tone mapping and to avoid the offset in color of the low dynamic range image as compared to the high dynamic range image.

In accordance with the disclosure, there is provided an image processing method. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an example image processing method consistent with the embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, determining the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-images (S103 in FIG. 1) includes the following processes.

The first sub-images are denoted as X_i, i∈r, g, b, where x_r denotes the R channel data of the first sub-images, X_g denotes the G channel data of the first sub-images, and X_b denotes the B channel data of the first sub-images. When the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel are calculated, in some embodiments, the first mean value m_r of the first sub-images in R channel is calculated according to the R channel data x_r of the first sub-images, the second mean value m_g of the first sub-images in G channel is calculated according to the G channel data X_g of the first sub-images, and the third mean value m_b of the first sub-images in B channel is calculated according to the B channel data X_b of the first sub-images.

At S302, the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-images are determined according to the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel.

In some embodiments, determining the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-images according to the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel includes the following aspects.

In one aspect, the detail information of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel is determined according to the R channel data, the G channel data, and the B channel data of the first sub-images and the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel.

In some embodiments, determining the detail information of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel according to the R channel data, the G channel data, and the B channel data of the first sub-images and the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel includes determining the detail information of the first sub-images in R channel according to the R channel data and the first mean value of the first sub-images, determining the detail information of the first sub-images in G channel according to the G channel data and the second mean value of the first sub-images, and determining the detail information of the first sub-images in B channel according to the B channel data and the third mean value of the first sub-images.

For example, the R channel data of the first sub-images is denoted as x_r, the first mean value is denoted as m_r, the detail information of the first sub-images in the R channel is denoted as X_r, X_r=X_r−m_r. The G channel data of the first sub-images is denoted as X_g , the first mean value is m_g, the detail information of the first sub-images in the G channel is denoted as X_g, X_g=X_g−m_g. The B channel data of the first sub-images is denoted as X_b, the first mean value is denoted as m_b, the detail information of the first sub-images in the B channel is denoted as X_b, X_b=X_b−m_b.

In another aspect, the color information of the first sub-images in each channel is determined according to the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel and the mean value of the first sub-images.

In some embodiments, determining the color information of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel according to the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel and the mean value of the first sub-images includes determining the color information of the first sub-images in R channel according to the first mean value and the mean value of the first sub-images, determining the color information of the first sub-images in G channel according to the second mean value and the mean value of the first sub-images, and determining the color information of the first sub-images in B channel according to the third mean value and the mean value of the first sub-images.

In some embodiments, the mean value information of the first sub-images is a mean value of the first mean value, the second mean value, and the third mean value. In some embodiments, the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel are denoted as m_i, i∈r, g, b. The overall mean value of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel is denoted as m, m can be determined according to formula (2) above, i.e., m=(m_r+m_g+m_b)/3. The mean value of the first sub-images is the mean value of the first mean value, the second mean value, and the third mean value, i.e., the mean value of the first sub-images is m.

For example, the first mean value is denoted as m_r, the mean value information of the first sub-images is denoted as m, the color information of the first sub-images in R channel is denoted as m_r, m_r=m_r−m. The second mean value is denoted as m_g, the mean value information of the first sub-images is denoted as m, the color information of the first sub-images in G channel is denoted as m_g, m_g=m_g−m. The third mean value is denoted as m_b, the mean value information of the first sub-images is m, the color information of the first sub-images in B channel is denoted as m_b, m_b=m_b−m.

In the embodiment, by calculating the individual mean values of the first sub-images in R channel, G channel, and B channel, the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information of the first sub-images are determined, and accurate calculations are implemented for the detail information, the color information, and the mean value information.

In accordance with the disclosure, there is provided an image processing method. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an example image processing method consistent with embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, based on the embodiments descried above in connection with FIG. 1, obtaining the second sub-images by non-linearly compressing the color information and the detail information of each first sub-image and linearly compressing the mean value information of each first sub-image includes the following processes.

At S401, the detail information of the first sub-images is clustered to determine a group to which each first sub-image belongs.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first image 20 is decomposed into the plurality of first sub-images, and the detail information of each first sub-image can be denoted as X_i=X_i−m_i, i∈r,g,b, where X_r denotes the detail information of the first sub-image in R channel, X_g denotes the detail information of the first sub-images in G channel, and X_b denotes the detail information of the first sub-images in B channel.

In the embodiment, by clustering the detail information of the first sub-images, the group of each first sub-image is determined. In some embodiments, the K-means method can be used for clustering. During clustering, the detail information of each first sub-image can be constructed as a column vector. For example, a first sub-image X_i, i∈r, g, b is a 5*5 block, and hence each of x_r, X_g, X_b is a 5*5 block and each of X_r, X_g, X_b is a 5*5 block. Each element of X_r can be constructed as a column vector, which is a 25*1 column vector. Similarly, each element of X_g can be constructed as a column vector, which is a 25*1 column vector, and each element of X_b can be constructed as a column vector, which is a 25*1 column vector. The column vectors corresponding to X_r, X_g, and X_b form a column vector of 75*1. The detail information of each first sub-image can form a column vector of 75*1. As shown in FIG. 2, the detail information of the first sub-image 21 can form a column vector, the detail information of the first sub-image 22 can form a column vector, the detail information of the first sub-image 23 can form a column vector, and the detail information of the first sub-image 24 can form a column vector. The column vectors corresponding to the first sub-images are clustered using K-means clustering method. For example, the column vector corresponding to each first sub-image is a column vector of 75*1, then the dimension of a cluster object is 75*1. With clustering, a plurality of column vectors can be divided into several groups. The number of groups after clustering is less than or equal to the number of the clustering objects, i.e., the column vectors. The group to which a column vector belongs is the group to which the corresponding first sub-image belongs. That is, in the embodiment, the first sub-images are clustered by clustering the column vectors formed by the detail information of the first sub-images.

Assume that the first image is decomposed into M first sub-images, and N groups are obtained after clustering, where M and N are positive integers and N is less than or equal to M. The N groups are respectively denoted as G₁, G₂, G₃ . . . G_N, and the covariance matrices of the groups are Φ₁, Φ₂, Φ₃ . . . . Φ_N, where Φ_n denotes the covariance matrix of the n^th group in the N groups. Formula (5) can be obtained with eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix Φ_n:

Φ_n=Q_nΛ_nQ_n⁻¹   (5)

where Q_n is a square matrix composed of eigenvectors, and Λ_n is a diagonal matrix composed of eigenvalues. Correspondingly, the dictionary P_n corresponding to the n^th group can be calculated as follows in formula (6):

P _n =Q _n ^T   (6)

where Q_n^T is the transpose matrix of Q_n.

Dictionaries corresponding to other ones of the N groups other than the n^th group can be calculated using the same method as above. Thus, the corresponding dictionaries for groups G₁, G₂, G₃ . . . G_N are P₁, P₂, P₃ . . . P_N, respectively.

At S402, the first sub-images are projected according to the detail information of the first sub-images and the groups of the first sub-images to obtain projection values of the detail information of the first sub-images.

In some embodiments, projecting the first sub-images according to the groups of the first sub-images and the detail information of the first sub-images includes determining the covariance matrices of the groups of the first sub-images, decomposing the covariance matrices to determine the corresponding dictionaries of the groups for the first sub-images, and projecting the detail information of the first sub-images into the corresponding dictionaries of the groups of the first sub-images.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first sub-image 21, the first sub-image 22, the first sub-image 23, and the first sub-image 24 are first clustered using the clustering method above. For example, assume 3 groups are obtained after clustering, which are G₁, G₂, G₃.
