The invention relates to the technical field of
image processing, and provides a defogging method and
system for an image containing a large-area
sky region. The method comprises the steps of carrying out
quadtree segmentation on a photographed foggy image I (x), segmenting the foggy image into a plurality of image regions and obtaining seed points in the plurality of image regions; carrying out
sky region growth by taking obtained seed points as bases, obtaining images containing
sky regions and non-sky regions, and calculating
atmosphere light values A; calculating medium transmission rates t<1 > (x) of the non-sky regions, and moreover, uniformly setting the medium
transmission rate of the sky regions to be t <sky >; carrying out boundary fuzzification on the images containing the sky regions and non-sky regions and calculating to obtain gauss weighting parameters; carrying out
transmission rate fusion on the sky regions and non-sky regions in the images; and calculating a defogged image J (x) according to the atmospheric scattering model of the foggy image, thereby obtaining a clear image without
fog. The method and the
system are especially suitable for
processing the foggy and hazy image containing the large-area sky region.
