Rain Streaks Removal by Using Composite Method

Abstract

This paper proposes rain streaks removal by combining of the smoothing methods and image enhancement. We design an efficient method for detecting and removing rain streaks in the image. The rain streaks component is obtained by reduction of the original image rain streaks with blur image, and then conducted in the quantization process. Regarding to the image quantization results, we can find a non rain streak and rain streak components. Furthermore, rain streak components are replaced by the pixels of enhancement image results that generate non-rain estimation. Finally, by implementing artefact removal from the summing of the non rain component and non rain component estimation of an image generate a rain removal method. Simulation results show the proposed method successfully eliminate the rain streaks and maintain non rain streaks.
