Every year lives and properties are lost in road accidents. About
one-fourth of these accidents are due to low vision in foggy weather.
At present, there is no algorithm that is specifically designed for
the removal of fog from videos. Application of a single-image fog
removal algorithm over each video frame is a time-consuming and costly
affair. It is demonstrated that with the intelligent use of temporal
redundancy, fog removal algorithms designed for a single image can be
extended to the real-time video application. Results confirm that the
presented framework used for the extension of the fog removal
algorithms for images to videos can reduce the complexity to a great
extent with no loss of perceptual quality. This paves the way for the
real-life application of the video fog removal algorithm. In order to
remove fog, an efficient fog removal algorithm using anisotropic
diffusion is developed. The presented fog removal algorithm uses new
dark channel assumption and anisotropic diffusion for the
initialization and refinement of the airlight map, respectively. Use
of anisotropic diffusion helps to estimate the better airlight map
estimation. The said fog removal algorithm requires a single image
captured by uncalibrated camera system. The anisotropic
diffusion-based fog removal algorithm can be applied in both RGB and
HSI color space. This book shows that the use of HSI color space
reduces the complexity further. The said fog removal algorithm
requires pre- and post-processing steps for the better restoration of
the foggy image. These pre- and post-processing steps have either
data-driven or constant parameters that avoid the user intervention.
Presented fog removal algorithm is independent of the intensity of the
fog, thus even in the case of the heavy fog presented algorithm
performs well. Qualitative and quantitative results confirm that the
presented fog removal algorithm outperformed previous algorithms in
terms of perceptual quality, color fidelity and execution time. The
work presented in this book can find wide application in entertainment
industries, transportation, tracking and consumer electronics.
