Abstract
Abstract: Objective Texture shows different characteristics on different scales. On a smaller scale, the texture may appear more intricate and detailed; On a larger scale, textures may present larger structures and patterns. Therefore, texture patterns are complex and diverse, and the characteristics presented in various patterns are different. For example, structural texture has clear geometric shape and arrangement, natural texture has randomness and complexity, and abstract texture is a combination of different colors, lines and patterns. In general, the human visual system can distinguish the structure from the disordered texture, but this is a challenge for the computer. Texture filtering is a basic and important tool in the field of computer vision and computer graphics. Its main purpose is to filter out unnecessary texture details and maintain the stability of the core structure. The mainstream texture filtering methods have been mainly divided into two categories: local-based and global-based. However, the existing texture filtering methods have not effectively guaranteed the structural stability while filtering the texture. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive regularization of the weighted relative total variation for image smoothing algorithm. Method The main idea of this algorithm is to obtain a structure measure amplitude image with high texture structure discrimination, and then use the relative total variation model to smooth the image according to the difference between texture and structure. Our method includes three steps to implement texture filtering and structure preservation. Firstly, we propose a multi-scale interval circular gradient operator that can effectively distinguish texture from structure. By inputting the intensity change information of the interval gradient in the horizontal and vertical directions captured by the interval circular gradient operator into the frame of DIRECTIONAL ANISOTROPIC STRUCTURE MEASUREMENT (DASM), a structure measure amplitude image with high contrast is generated. In each iteration, the scale radius of the interval circular gradient operator is constantly adjusted, that is, the scale radius of the interval circular gradient operator decreases with the increase of the number of iterations. On the one hand, it can capture the low-level semantic information of texture structure in a large range at the initial stage of iteration, and suppress the texture more effectively; On the other hand, it can more accurately capture the advanced semantic information of texture structure at the end of iteration to keep the structure stable. Secondly, because the Gaussian Mixture Model has the characteristics of high accuracy in data classification, the texture layer and structure layer of the structure measure amplitude image are separated by using the Gaussian Mixture Model and EM algorithm. And before the separation operation, the morphological erosion operation is performed on the image to refine the structure edge and shrink the structure area, so as to make the separation result more accurate. Finally, the regularization weights are adaptively assigned according to the structure measure amplitude image and the texture structure separation image. A regularization term with high weight is assigned to the texture region for texture suppression; The regularization term with small weight is allocated in the structure area to maintain the stability of fine structure, so as to ensure that the texture is filtered out in a large area to the greatest extent while the integrity of the structure is not destroyed. Result The experiment runs on the Windows platform, and the algorithm is implemented by Opencv and MATLAB. Three main parameters are set, including the maximum scale radius of the multi-scale interval circular gradient operator, the regular term of the texture region and the regular term of the structure region. Maximum scale radius controls how much the texture is suppressed. The larger the regular term of the texture region, the smoother the filtering results can be obtained. The smaller the regular term of the structure region, the better the structure retention ability can be obtained. On the visual level, by testing the images of oil paintings, cross embroideries, graffiti, murals and natural scenes, and comparing with the existing mainstream texture filtering methods, the algorithm in this paper can not only effectively suppress the strong gradient texture, but also maintain the stability of the edge of the weak gradient structure; In terms of quantitative measurement, through the removal of compressed traces of JPG images and the smoothing of Gaussian noise images, and the comparison of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) indicators with the relative total variation, rolling guidence filtering, bilateral texture filtering, scale-aware texture filtering, and gradient minimization, this paper achieves the maximum value. Conclusion Compared with the existing texture filtering methods, this algorithm achieves the effect of strong gradient texture suppression and fine structure preservation by using the adaptive allocation of regularization weights, and completes the differentiated filtering operation between texture and structure. Experiments show that the algorithm can maintain the main structure of the image and achieve gradient smoothing. This will provide powerful image preprocessing methods for image stylization, detail enhancement, HDR tone mapping, Superpixel segmentation and other fields sensitive to strong gradient texture.
