A Method to Enhance the Fog Image Based on Dark Object Subtraction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of poor image contrast and low visibility, a single image contrast enhancement method is put forward in this paper. The method is based on Dark-object subtraction technique, translating the fog degraded image from RGB color space to YIQ color space, and taking out the Y component. Then using the maximum entropy method to get the threshold value of image segmentation, we can put different portion of the image according to the different formula for image restoration. The processed image must be converted from YIQ color space to RGB color space In the back of the steps. Finally, the image needs a linear dynamic range adjustment to enhance the contrast and brightness. Experiments show that the method can effectively remove haze effect on the image. The dehazing effect of the processed image is obvious. The image becomes clear and bright, and the details is outstanding, which is convenient for observation and analysis.
