Abstract:
Fog and haze degrade the quality of preview and captured image by reducing the contrast and saturation. As a result the visibility of scene or object degrades. The objective of the present work is to enhance the visibility, saturation, contrast and reduce the noise in a foggy image. We propose a method that uses single frame for enhancing foggy images using multilevel transmission map. The method is fast and free from noise or artifacts that generally arise in such enhancement techniques. A comparison with existing methods shows that the proposed method performs better in terms of both processing time and quality. The proposed method works in real time for VGA resolution. The proposed work also presents a scheme to remove fog, rain and snow in real-time.
