Problems solved by technology

Image defogging based on the dark primary color prior reveals the essential characteristics of the image and has a good defogging effect, but for bright areas such as the sky and white clouds where there is no dark primary color, the restoration result will have obvious color distortion, and The soft matting method adopted has high time and space complexity

Abstract

The invention discloses a fast image defogging method based on dark channel prior and a Retinex theory. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly obtaining a simplified atmospheric scattering model; then obtaining an initial estimation value and a rough estimation value of a medium transmission rate; carrying out pixel-stage fusion to obtain a final estimation value of the medium transmission rate; and finally substituting the final estimation value of the medium transmission rate into the simplified atmospheric scattering model for image restoration to obtain a defogged image. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that a higher operation speed is realized; the definition and the contrast ratio of a restored image can be effectively improved; meanwhile, better image colors are obtained; and wide prospects and great application values are realized in the fields of urban traffic, video monitoring, intelligent vehicles and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of urban traffic, video monitoring, intelligent vehicles, navigation control, target tracking and terrain survey, and in particular relates to a method for quickly defogging a single image. Background technique [0002] Smog is a common natural phenomenon, which is produced by the action of a large number of tiny water droplets, aerosols and other particles suspended in the atmosphere. Due to the absorption, scattering and refraction of light by suspended particles, the contrast, saturation and hue shift of the target in the image are reduced, which directly limits and affects the effectiveness of various outdoor vision systems. The sharpening processing of degraded images in foggy weather is of great significance to improve the reliability and robustness of outdoor vision systems, and single image dehazing has become a research hotspot in the field of image dehazing. Various methods have been proposed for image def...
