摘要
The images are vulnerable to suspended particles in the atmosphere, and the quality of image captured in fog is deteriorated to lead to many difficulties for battlefield reconnaissance and recognition. Various fog-related image features are investigated, and a novel feature based on chroma, saturation, and Brightness value color space which correlates well with the fog density is proposed. The surrogate-based method is used to build a refined polynomial regression model for optical depth with informative fog-related features, including the dark-channel, saturation-value, and chroma. An effective method for fog density estimation and image defogging is proposed based on the surrogate model. Experimental validations prove that the proposed method has better effect than conventional methods in both quantitation and quality, and leads to great improvements in real-time image defogging. © 2019, Editorial Board of Acta Armamentarii.
