Contrast Enhancement and Optimization for Image with Fog

Abstract:

Aiming at the absorption effect of fog suspended in the atmosphere on light, the paper established the removing-fog compensation adaptive model which can improve the atmospheric visibility and restore the normal work of outdoor system. The experimental results show that the removing fog image processed by the method of removing-fog compensation optimization can accord with the requirement of human visual, and it can be used in real-time video monitoring as the fast computing speed. The method not only can be used in foggy video which the fog distributed uniformly, and can assess the visual quality for the images processed.
