Abstract:

To address the problem that the existing dehazing methods are difficult to suppress artifact generation and insufficient texture detail recovery caused by non-uniform haze distribution in real remote sensing images effectively, an unsupervised dehazing method for remote sensing images with non-uniform haze was proposed. First, based on Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN), a Residual Multi-scale Attention Mechanism (RMAM) was designed in the generator to expand the receptive field and enhance the extraction ability of multi-scale texture and structural information, thereby effectively restoring realistic texture details. Second, a Haze Distribution Enhancement Module (HDEM) was designed to explicitly enhance the expression of haze features, and combined with a dual-branch fusion strategy, the network was guided to accurately identify and process non-uniform haze, thereby alleviating the artifact issue caused by insufficient haze distribution perception. Finally, a Feature Attention (FA) mechanism was embedded in the discriminator to strengthen its ability to distinguish the authenticity of local structures and textures in the image, thereby improving its ability to restore dehazed images. Experimental results on the synthetic remote sensing datasets SateHaze 1k and RICE showed that the proposed method outperformed the best-performing baseline method DedustGAN by 4.20% and 2.44%, respectively, in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and by 0.96% and 0.51%, respectively, in Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM). Experimental results on the real-world dataset RRSD300 showed that the proposed method outperformed the best-performing baseline method Cycle-SNSPGAN by 2.04% and 0.45% in Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) and Integrated Local NIQE (IL-NIQE), respectively. The proposed method effectively removes non-uniform haze, suppresses artifact generation, and restores texture details in remote sensing images.

摘要:

针对现有的去雾方法在真实遥感图像中难以有效抑制由不均匀雾霾分布引发的伪影生成及纹理细节恢复不足的问题,提出一种面向不均匀雾霾遥感图像的无监督去雾方法。首先,基于循环生成对抗网络(CycleGAN),在生成器中设计残差多尺度注意力机制(RMAM),扩大感受野并增强对多尺度纹理与结构信息的提取能力,从而有效恢复真实的纹理细节信息;其次,设计雾霾分布增强模块(HDEM),显式地增强雾霾特征的表达,并结合双分支融合策略引导网络精准识别和处理不均匀雾霾,缓解因雾霾分布感知不足造成的伪影;最后,在判别器中嵌入特征注意力(FA)机制,强化对图像局部结构与纹理真实性的判别能力,提高去雾图像的细节还原能力。在合成遥感图像数据集SateHaze 1k和RICE上的实验结果表明,本文方法与最优的基线方法DedustGAN相比在峰值信噪比(PSNR)上分别提高了4.20%和2.44%,在结构相似度(SSIM)上分别提高了0.96%和0.51%;在真实数据集RRSD300上的实验结果表明,本文方法与最优的基线方法Cycle-SNSPGAN相比在自然图像质量评价(NIQE)和综合局部自然图像质量评价(IL-NIQE)上分别降低了2.04%和0.45%。本文方法能够有效去除不均匀雾霾、抑制伪影生成并恢复遥感图像中的纹理细节。
