Visibility enhancement of fog-degraded image using adaptive total variation minimisation

Pages 82-86 | Received 02 Jun 2015, Accepted 01 Dec 2015, Published online: 16 Feb 2016
 

Abstract

Images degraded due to bad weather conditions affect the quality of vision-based security systems, as the distortions obscure contrasts in the frames of the images. In this paper, we present a novel approach that uses adaptive total variation minimisation to retain the object and reduce the noise from a single image, thereby enhancing fog-degraded images. Representative experimental results show that our proposed algorithm is effective for contrast and saturation enhancement of fog-degraded images.
