Optimal selection of key parameters for homomorphic filtering based on information entropy
Multimedia Tools and Applications(2024)
Abstract
The use of computer vision relies heavily on the accuracy of the images obtained by the sensors. However, the frequent occurrence of haze, stemming from severe environmental problems, significantly hampers the acquisition of high-precision images, consequently impacting the computer vision industry. Therefore, image defogging becomes an imperative task. Currently, the image defogging process combines physical models with image enhancement techniques, often relying on filtering methods. The selected filter should usually satisfy the ability to preserve the original image and enhance image details. In this regard, the homomorphic filter has excellent performance and is frequently preferred. In the process of homomorphic filtering, four parameters are involved: high-frequency gain( γ _H ), low-frequency gain( γ _L ), cutoff frequency ( D 0 ), and slope sharpening control parameter ( C ). Notably, determining parameters D 0 and C are usually determined by empirical formulation, making it difficult to achieve optimal timeliness and quality in image defogging. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal selection method for key parameters in homomorphic filtering based on information entropy. This method aims to establish an information entropy-based model, referred to as C - D 0 information entropy model, that captures the relationship between slope sharpening and cutoff frequency parameters. This model utilizes a priori image information and employs the least squares method to swiftly determine the optimized parameters C and D 0 . By utilizing these optimized parameters, the information entropy of the defogged image can be maintained at a high level. Experimental results show that the proposed method enables rapid determination of parameter values, significantly enhancing the timeliness of homomorphic filtering. The parameters quickly selected by this model can result in a 92.12
