Image enhancement processing method and apparatus for distortion correction by air particle like fog

TLDR
In this paper, an image enhancement method and an apparatus for distortion correction by air particle like fog are provided to effectively eliminate scattered light into the air, where the scattered light map generation part(120) creates the atmosphere scattered light maps based on the average of the first brightness signal and rate of the standard deviation.
Abstract
PURPOSE: An image enhancement processing method and an apparatus for distortion correction by air particle like fog are provided to effectively eliminate scattered light into the air. CONSTITUTION: The scattered light map generation part(120) creates the atmosphere scattered light map based on the average of the first brightness signal and rate of the standard deviation. The subtraction unit(130) subtracts scattered light map from the brightness signal of Y/C transform unit(110). The edge enhancement part(140) performs the edge enhancement processing toward the brightness signal of the subtraction unit. The post processing unit(160) performs the histogram stretching about the RGB signal of the RGB transform unit(150).

Image-processing apparatus for removing haze contained in video, and method therefor

TL;DR: In this article, an image processing apparatus includes a haze brightness measurer to measure haze brightness in an image containing haze, a transmission estimator to estimate a blockwise transmission for generating a least final cost function value that is calculated by using a contrast, an image loss and a time loss of the image and an image reconstructor to reconstruct the image by using the measured haze brightness and the estimated pixelwise transmission.
