Abstract

Due to the influence of haze in winter, outdoor images usually lose contrast and fidelity. In view of the fact that most de-fog algorithms are not effective for images with large sky areas, an improved dark channel a priori de-fog method is proposed. First of all, the sky region is segmented according to the image gradient information, and on the basis of sky segmentation, the atmospheric light value is reasonably estimated by setting the discriminant formula combined with the high brightness and smoothness of atmospheric light reference pixels. Secondly, according to the different dark channel values, the piecewise linear function is used to dynamically modify the adjustable parameters to solve the local shadow caused by excessive defog. Then, the transmittance estimated by the bright channel model and the improved dark channel prior model are fused, and the edge is optimized by guided filtering. Finally, combined with the atmospheric scattering model, the defog image is obtained by brightness compensation and contrast stretching. The experimental results show that the improved method can effectively improve the image distortion, enhance the image contrast and details, especially in maintaining the visual authenticity of the sky region.
