Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of one or more embodiments of the present description as detailed in the accompanying claims.
It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding method are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this specification. In some other embodiments, the method may include more or fewer steps than described in this specification. Furthermore, a single step described in this specification may be described as being split into multiple steps in other embodiments, while multiple steps described in this specification may be described as being combined into a single step in other embodiments.
The user in the related art switches the light sources of different spectral characteristics by manual operation. Therefore, the user needs to switch the light source for multiple times, the operation flow of the user is complex, and the imaging efficiency and the instantaneity are affected.
In order to solve the technical problems that the user needs to switch the light source for multiple times, the operation flow of the user is complex, and the imaging efficiency and the real-time performance are affected, the embodiment of the application provides an imaging method, which divides the reflected light of white light into two paths of light, automatically uses the two paths of light sources to simultaneously perform real-time acquisition of white light images and real-time acquisition of hyperspectral images so as to correspondingly generate standard white light images and pseudo-color images in real time, and displays the hyperspectral images, the standard white light images and the pseudo-color images in real time. Therefore, without the participation of a user, the standard white light image and the pseudo-color image are automatically generated, the hyperspectral image, the standard white light image and the pseudo-color image are displayed, and the imaging efficiency and the instantaneity are improved.
The imaging method of the embodiment of the application can be applied to the tissue detection field of an endoscope, the functional imaging field of the endoscope such as blood oxygen detection and the like, and the remote sensing field. The details are as follows.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of an imaging method according to an embodiment of the application.
As shown in fig. 1, the imaging method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps 110 to 140:
Step 110, obtaining standard white light, and illuminating the detected object.
At the time of photographing, the condition of an illuminated object can be grasped by white light illumination.
Step 120, dividing the reflected light of the white light into a first path of light beam and a second path of light beam.
The "first" of the "first beam" and the "second" of the "second beam" are used to distinguish the two white lights. Therefore, two white lights can be used simultaneously, so that the standard white light image and the hyperspectral image can be acquired simultaneously and automatically, the situation that the light source is switched by multiple operations is avoided, and the operation of a user is reduced.
Step 130, acquiring a standard white light image by using the first path of light beam, acquiring a hyperspectral image by using the second path of light beam, selecting more than two narrow-band images with center wavelength difference reaching preset difference from a plurality of narrow-band images of the hyperspectral image, and performing fusion and color channel combination of a promotion and inhibition mechanism based on at least any two narrow-band images of the more than two narrow-band images to generate a pseudo-color image.
The pseudo-color image is used to grasp details of an object to be illuminated. Such as basic structural information of the illuminated objects like tissue surfaces, deep tissues, etc. These photographed objects may be referred to as inspected objects.
The plurality of narrowband images of the hyperspectral image may include, but is not limited to, 30 or more bands in which the obtained center wavelength difference reaches a preset difference. Analysis of these bands results in at least two more arbitrary narrowband images of the hyperspectral image. Thus, a pseudo color image can be generated from two or more narrowband images in which the center wavelength difference of 30 or more bands reaches a preset difference. Therefore, the full wave band can be applied, the level of the narrow-band image is more abundant, and the functional imaging and diagnosis are realized. And by exploring and testing different wavelength combinations, spectrum combination optimization is realized, and the imaging effect is further optimized so as to meet the requirements of various focus types.
The standard white light image is obtained in a plurality of ways:
In an alternative mode, a white light image is acquired, and standard processing is performed on the white light image to obtain a standard white light image as the standard white light image. The standard processing may include, but is not limited to, denoising, contrast enhancement, exposure adjustment, sharpening, color correction, etc., so that the visual effect and readability of the image may be improved. The standard post-processing image may display more detail and perform better on different display devices.
In another alternative, a standard white light image is acquired directly. When the shooting effect of the camera can be automatically adjusted to expose, focus, white balance and the like according to the environment, the final image is almost lossless and approaches to the effect after standard processing, the standard white light image can be directly used.
In addition, the fusion of promotion and suppression mechanisms herein is used for image processing of specific features of every two narrowband images, resulting in suppressed image features and enhanced image features, and fusing these suppressed image features and enhanced image features. The specific feature is used to represent a feature having a difference in light absorption.
It should be noted that the fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanism may include, but is not limited to, fusion of promotion and inhibition mechanism of biomimetic vision. Specifically, at least any two narrow-band images based on more than two narrow-band images are used for fusing a promotion and inhibition mechanism of biomimetic vision to generate a fused image.
Among these, the fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanisms of biomimetic vision includes, but is not limited to, the receptive field models of the ON-center and the OFF-center in the visual system of the rattlesnake. Correspondingly, based ON the receptive field models of the ON-center and the OFF-center in the visual system of the rattlesnake, respectively carrying out image processing ON specific features of each two narrow-band images in more than two narrow-band images to obtain inhibited image features and enhanced image features, and fusing the inhibited image features and the enhanced image features to obtain a fused image.
In this regard, every two narrowband images are fused by a mechanism of promotion and inhibition of bionic vision to generate a new monochromatic image (which may also be referred to as a fused image). In this way, the interaction between every two narrowband images is fully considered to enhance contrast and depth resolution. And, the new monochrome image to be generated is sent to one of RGB (Red Green Blue) channels for display, and the other color channels use the same operation. For details, see below.
The fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanism of the bionic vision comprises, but is not limited to, a positive feedback mechanism and a negative feedback mechanism in biological perception and behavior learning, and the fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanism is correspondingly realized. Thus, sample training learning is required, the suppressed image features and the enhanced image features can be obtained, and the suppressed image features and the enhanced image features are fused to obtain a fused image.
It should also be noted that the fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanism may further include, but is not limited to, fusion of a deep learning-based neural network model. Wherein the deep learning based neural network model includes an attention mechanism for implementing the facilitated activation function and implementing the suppression mechanism. And the promotion and inhibition mechanism in the biological perception and behavior learning is correspondingly realized. Thus, sample training learning is required, the suppressed image features and the enhanced image features can be obtained, and the suppressed image features and the enhanced image features are fused to obtain a fused image.
Step 140, displaying the standard white light image, the hyperspectral image and the pseudo-color image.
The standard white light image, the hyperspectral image and the pseudo-color image are used for respectively displaying the real-time condition of the detected object. Thus, the analysis and observation are facilitated by using the standard normal image display, the hyperspectral image display and the high-contrast pseudo-color image display for the same detected object.
The pseudo-color image herein may be a high contrast pseudo-color image. The degree of difference between the brightest and darkest regions in the high-contrast pseudo-color image is large. Thus, the pseudo-color image with high contrast is more vivid and bright-dark. Illustratively, the contrast ratio of the high contrast pseudo-color image is typically greater than 5, and may even reach 10 or higher.
Referring to fig. 1, in the step 130, two or more narrowband images with a difference of center wavelength reaching a preset difference are selected from the plurality of narrowband images of the hyperspectral image, where the preset difference may be used to indicate that the narrowband images have a larger difference. Thus, the subsequent fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanisms is carried out, and the fusion has more meaning.
The preset difference herein may be, but is not limited to, greater than or equal to 50nm (nanometers). Fusion is made more effective for a sufficiently large information gap. The predetermined difference may be, but is not limited to, 80nm (nanometers) or more.
Based on this, in connection with fig. 1, the above-mentioned at least arbitrary two narrowband images based on two or more narrowband images in step 130 of the imaging method perform fusion of promotion and suppression mechanisms and color channel combination to generate a pseudo-color image, which can be implemented by the following embodiments:
In a first alternative embodiment, the two or more narrowband images comprise any two narrowband images, and each time any one of the RGB channels is mapped (which may be referred to as mapping each time), the fusion of the promotion and suppression mechanisms is performed based on the same two narrowband images, resulting in a single color image. Correspondingly, (1) the fusion of the promotion and inhibition mechanism of the bionical vision is carried out based on the two narrow-band images, and a monochromatic image is generated. (2) A single color image to be generated based on the same two narrowband images is mapped to a first color channel of the RGB channel, to a second color channel of the RGB channel, and to a third color channel of the RGB channel, respectively. (3) And combining the color channels of the images mapped by the first color channel, the second color channel and the third color channel to obtain a pseudo-color image.
The third of the "first", "second", and "third color channels" in the "first color channel" described above is used to distinguish three different color channels.
In this embodiment, two narrowband images interact to produce one image, which is mapped directly to one of the RGB channels. Thus, the contrast and depth resolution of the image are enhanced by adopting an image fusion method based on a biological bionic visual mechanism.
In a second alternative embodiment, the two or more narrowband images comprise any two or more narrowband images, and each time any color channel of the RGB channels is mapped (which may be referred to as mapping each time), the fusion of the promotion and suppression mechanisms is performed based on at least two different narrowband images, and the generated monochromatic images are generated correspondingly. Correspondingly, 1) fusing the promotion and inhibition mechanisms of the bionics vision based on at least two different narrow-band images, and correspondingly generating a monochromatic image. 2) The single-color images generated based on the two narrow-band images are mapped to a first color channel of an RGB channel, a second color channel of the RGB channel, and a third color channel of the RGB channel. 3) And combining the color channels of the images mapped by the first color channel, the second color channel and the third color channel to obtain a pseudo-color image.
The narrow-band images of each of the at least two bands are subjected to a pairwise action, and then the pairwise action images are subjected to a further action to obtain an image, and the image is mapped to one of the RGB channels.
In addition, the narrow-band images of each of the at least two bands are subjected to a pairwise effect, and the pairwise effect images are mapped to one of the RGB channels.
In this regard, each time a single color image is mapped to one of the RGB channels, all of the mapped images are finally synthesized, and instead of outputting the image directly through the actual RGB channels, the fused image is generated. The fused image may be referred to as a pseudo-color image.
For example, the first narrowband image O and the second narrowband image P interact to a new monochromatic image, mapping to one of the RGB channels;
The third narrowband image Q and the fourth narrowband image R interact to a new monochromatic image, which is mapped to one of the RGB channels;
The fifth narrowband image S and the fourth narrowband image T interact to a new monochrome image, mapped to one of the RGB channels.
In an embodiment, a pseudo-color fusion algorithm is used, which combines the advantages of multi-band narrowband imaging described above, resulting in a significant improvement in contrast and depth resolution of the image. And, generating a pseudo color image by mutual promotion and suppression of images, and mapping the pseudo color image to one of RGB channels, and repeating the operation to finally generate a fusion image. In this way, hyperspectral image data is mapped to the RGB color space using a fusion algorithm based on a biological vision mechanism to enhance image contrast and resolution.
Continuing with FIG. 1, the acquiring hyperspectral image in step 130 may be implemented in at least any one of the following implementations:
In a first alternative implementation, a hyperspectral camera is used to obtain a hyperspectral image, which includes a plurality of narrowband images generated by the hyperspectral camera capturing reflected light over the entire spectral range at once. As such, hyperspectral cameras are suitable for applications requiring real-time imaging, covering the visible to near infrared bands.
In a second alternative implementation, the hyperspectral image is obtained by combining an image sensor with a filter color wheel, wherein the filter color wheel comprises filters with different wavebands, and the plurality of narrowband images are obtained by sequentially filtering light with different wavelengths onto a monochromatic sensor by rotating the filter color wheel. The image sensor is used for capturing light and converting the light into an electronic signal. The image sensor may include, but is not limited to, a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor, a monochrome image sensor camera, and the like, which are not exemplified herein. Thus, the combination of the image sensor and the filter color wheel can be used in a cost sensitive scene with high resolution requirements, providing high quality image resolution.
In a third alternative implementation mode, a grating spectrometer is used to obtain a hyperspectral image, wherein the hyperspectral image is spectrum information of each wavelength recorded by the grating spectrometer through decomposing the entered white light into a plurality of spectrums with different wavelengths through the grating. Thus, the grating spectrometer can provide high spectral resolution and is suitable for finely analyzing the tissue characteristics of the detected object.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of the imaging method shown in fig. 1.
As further shown in fig. 1 and 2, the step 140 may include, but is not limited to, the following two embodiments:
In an alternative embodiment of step 140, step 141, a standard white light image, a hyperspectral image, and a pseudo-color image are displayed on a display. Accordingly, the above-mentioned imaging method may further include the step 150 of receiving a switching instruction for the displayed standard white light image, hyperspectral image, and pseudo-color image. And, in response to the switching instruction, step 160 switches to the image to be displayed.
In this case, a standard white light image, a hyperspectral image, and a pseudo-color image can be displayed on one display, respectively, and by switching these images, an image to be displayed can be displayed.
Further, a standard white light image, a hyperspectral image and a pseudo color image can be simultaneously displayed on one display in multiple pictures. By switching these pictures, the multi-picture is switched to one picture, and an image to be displayed is enlarged or displayed more pertinently.
In this embodiment, an image to be displayed among a plurality of images can be controlled to be displayed.
In another alternative embodiment of step 140 above, the standard white light image, the hyperspectral image, and the pseudo-color image are each displayed separately on three displays. Thus, each image is directly displayed through the three displays, the user is not required to switch each image, and the images required to be displayed are used and displayed.

The imaging device provided by the embodiment of the application can achieve the same or similar technical effects as the imaging device provided by the embodiment of the application, which are not exemplified herein.
Currently, the endoscope technology has become an indispensable tool in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and in particular in the fields of digestive tracts, respiratory tracts and the like, the endoscope using white light as a mainstream technology has been widely used. In particular, endoscopes rely primarily on visible light (400-750 nm band) imaging, thus limiting their ability to detect small features and physiological changes in tissue, especially in the identification of early cancers, inflammation and other lesions. Because the white light image can only present tissue surface structure information, the lack of sensitivity to deep tissue chemical components and functions often leads to the neglect or misjudgment of fine lesions, which affects the accuracy of clinical diagnosis. Moreover, the hyperspectral imaging (HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING, HSI) endoscope system generally needs to switch different light sources to acquire multiband images, a user needs to switch the light sources for multiple times, the operation flow of the user is complex, the imaging efficiency and the instantaneity are affected, and the clinical operation difficulty is increased.
In order to solve the technical problems that the white light image can only present tissue surface structure information, and the lack of sensitivity to chemical components and functions of deep tissues often causes fine lesions to be ignored or misjudged, influences the accuracy of clinical diagnosis, and the user needs to switch light sources for many times, the operation flow of the user is complex, the imaging efficiency and the instantaneity are influenced, the clinical operation difficulty is increased, and the like, the embodiment of the application provides an endoscope imaging system for realizing the imaging method. And performing white light analysis through standard white light image display, performing spectral imaging analysis through hyperspectral images, and fusing more than two narrow-band images with center wavelength difference reaching preset difference with a suppression mechanism to generate a fused image. Therefore, through the beam splitting module and the single white light source design, synchronous acquisition of the white light image and the hyperspectral image can be realized without light source switching, the operation efficiency is improved, the imaging efficiency and the instantaneity are improved, and the device is suitable for real-time clinical operation.
Based on the same inventive concept as the above-described method, the embodiment of the present application also provides an imaging apparatus, such as the embodiments shown in fig. 4 and 5are similar to the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 3, and in the embodiment of fig. 4, the embodiment of the present application provides an endoscopic imaging system for implementing the endoscopic imaging method as described below, compared to the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 3. And, the system may include various structures including a white light illumination module 511, a beam splitting module 52, a white light imaging processing module 53, a hyperspectral imaging processing module 54, and an image display module 55:
The white light illumination module 511 is configured to obtain standard white light and illuminate a target tissue of the endoscope. The target tissue may be used to represent tissue characteristics of a particular subject. Thus, the white light illumination module 511 uses standard white light to illuminate the target tissue under the endoscope, eliminating the need for a dedicated multi-band light source, and simplifying the system design. White light is used not only for normal viewing but also for subsequent image acquisition.
The beam splitting module 52 is configured to split the reflected light of the white light into a first path of light beam and a second path of light beam. Wherein beam splitting module 52 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a beam splitter, fiber optic splitter, and optical grating. Thus, the light source is standard white light, and as the light source, the light signal can be used for white light imaging and hyperspectral imaging simultaneously through the beam splitting module 52 without special light source conversion. Thus, by standard white light illumination, in combination with the beam splitting module 52 design, the white light image acquisition unit and the HSI image acquisition unit can operate simultaneously. Thus, bimodal imaging can be completed without switching light sources, operation is simplified, and imaging efficiency is improved.
In this regard, after white light illumination, the returned reflected light is split into two paths by the splitting module 52, one path enters the white light image acquisition unit, and the other path enters the HSI image acquisition unit. The structure ensures independent acquisition of two images, and mutual interference is avoided.
The white light imaging processing module 53 is configured to acquire a standard white light image using the first path of light beam, and, at the same time,
The hyperspectral imaging processing module 54 is configured to collect a hyperspectral image using the second path of light beam, select two or more narrowband images with center wavelength difference reaching a preset difference from a plurality of narrowband images of the hyperspectral image, and perform fusion and color channel combination of a promotion and suppression mechanism based on at least any two narrowband images of the two or more narrowband images to generate a pseudo-color image.
Thus, white light and hyperspectral images can be acquired simultaneously without switching light sources, and the endoscope imaging system adopts a single white light source and is matched with the beam splitting module 52 to allow white light signals to enter different image acquisition modules (such as a white light image acquisition unit and an HSI image acquisition unit), so that efficient dual-mode simultaneous imaging is realized.
The HSI technology is a technology capable of capturing tissue characteristics under different spectrums, and has great potential in improving focus detection sensitivity. The HSI technique is capable of collecting a plurality of band information from visible light to near infrared light, generating detailed spectral data for each pixel, enabling it to identify and distinguish different tissue components, such as absorption differences of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin at different wavelengths. This property provides HSI with significant advantages in detecting microscopic lesions, identifying benign and malignant tissue, and monitoring surgical margins.
In addition, the above two or more narrowband images whose center wavelength difference reaches a preset difference may be, but not limited to, two narrowband images whose center wavelength difference is greater than 50nm, or two narrowband images whose center wavelength difference is greater than 80 nm. Thus, a fusion algorithm based on biological vision is introduced, and the contrast and depth resolution capability of tissues are remarkably enhanced by promoting the fusion of two narrow-band images with larger central wavelength difference with a suppression mechanism and mapping the narrow-band images to an RGB color space.
Compared with the imaging system in the related art, the image fusion method is simpler, can not effectively improve the hierarchical information and contrast of tissues, and limits the application effect of the system in the observation of complex tissue structures.
Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the application, by selecting more than two narrow-band images with the center wavelength difference reaching the preset difference, the image fusion method of promotion and inhibition is adopted, so that the visualization effect of tissues is remarkably improved, and the method has remarkable advantages in the aspects of focus identification, early lesion detection, disease treatment and the like.
The image display module 55 is used for displaying a standard white light image, a hyperspectral image and a pseudo-color image and realizing real-time examination of the endoscope. The image display module 55 may include, but is not limited to, a display or screen, among others.
While the related art endoscope system can generally acquire different types of images only by switching light sources, the present endoscope imaging system achieves simultaneous acquisition of white light and hyperspectral images through the beam splitting module 52, which greatly improves operation convenience and imaging efficiency. In addition, due to the introduction of the HSI image fusion method, the system not only can provide white light images, but also can bring more abundant tissue information through hyperspectral imaging. The combination of the multi-mode images provides more dimensional information for clinical diagnosis and is helpful for improving the accuracy of diagnosis.
Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the application, the design of an endoscope imaging system combines the advantages of two imaging modes of WLI and HSI, provides flexible image acquisition and processing schemes, and particularly has great potential in lesion diagnosis and early lesion recognition. The system has obvious clinical application prospect by simplifying the operation flow and improving the imaging quality.
