本文针对夜视图像低对比度和低信噪比的特点从硬件和软件两个角度着手改善夜视图像的成像质量。从硬件角度来讲,电子倍增 CCD(EMCCD)通过自带的倍增寄存器有效放大采集到的微小信号,从而实现了较高的对比度和较高的信噪比。而从软件算法的角度,我们采用图像重建算法从被污染图像中恢复原有信息。针对采集夜视图像过程中快门时间长和感光度高等特点带来的图像质量退化,重建算法主要从图像去模糊和图像去噪两方面来改善图像质量,采用了逆卷积算法、 线性非线性滤波器以及软硬阈值小波降噪等算法。此外,我们引入峰值信噪比(PSNR)和结构相似度评价(SSIM)等图像质量评价算法来客观衡量图像质量的变化,对不同重建算法下的图像质量改善程度做出评估。9660

Title Night-Vision Image Reconstruction Algorithm
Based on Electron Multiplying CCD
Abstract
Based on the low contrast and low SNR of night vision image, this article
is aimed at enhancing image quality from both hardware and software
aspects. When it comes to hardware, electron multiplying CCD amplifies weak
signals via multiplying registers and improves contrast and SNR as a
result. As to software, we use image reconstruction algorithm to recover
original information from polluted image. For major image recession is
caused by long shutter time and high ISO, the image reconstruction mainly
focuses on image de-blurring and image de-noising. The algorithms of
deconvolution, linear and non-linear filter and hard/soft-thresholding
wavelet de-noising have been adopted. Furthermore, Peak Signal-to-Noise
Ratio(PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index(SSIM) have been introduced to
objectively measure the variation of image quality and accordingly assess
algorithms’ performance.
