Abstract

Real-time water-medium endoscopic images can assist doctors in performing operations such as tissue cleaning and nucleus pulpous removal. During medical operating procedures, it is inevitable that tissue particles, debris and other contaminants will be suspended within the viewing area, resulting in blurred images and the loss of surface details in biological tissues. Currently, few studies have focused on enhancing such endoscopic images. This paper proposes a water-medium endoscopic image processing method based on dual transmittance in accordance with the imaging characteristics of spinal endoscopy. By establishing an underwater imaging model for spinal endoscopy, we estimate the transmittance of the endoscopic images based on the boundary constraints and local image contrast. The two transmittances are then fused and combined with transmittance maps and ambient light estimations to restore the images before attenuation, ultimately enhancing the details and texture of the images. Experiments comparing classical image enhancement algorithms demonstrate that the proposed algorithm could effectively improve the quality of spinal endoscopic images.

Abstract Image

基于双透射的水介质脊柱内窥镜图像处理
实时的水介质内窥镜图像可以帮助医生进行组织清洗和髓核切除等手术。在医疗操作过程中,不可避免地会有组织颗粒、碎片等污染物悬浮在观察区域内,造成图像模糊,生物组织表面细节丢失。目前,很少有研究关注增强这种内窥镜图像。针对脊柱内窥镜的成像特点,提出了一种基于双透射的水介质内窥镜图像处理方法。通过建立脊柱内窥镜水下成像模型,基于边界约束和局部图像对比度估计内窥镜图像的透射率。然后将两种透射率融合并结合透射率图和环境光估计,恢复衰减前的图像,最终增强图像的细节和纹理。对比经典图像增强算法的实验结果表明,该算法能有效提高脊柱内窥镜图像的质量。
