Iterative Refinement of Transmission Map for Stereo Image Defogging Using a Dual Camera Sensor

چکیده
Recently, the stereo imaging-based image enhancement approach has attracted increasing attention in the field of video analysis. This paper presents a dual camera-based stereo image defogging algorithm. Optical flow is first estimated from the stereo foggy image pair, and the initial disparity map is generated from the estimated optical flow. Next, an initial transmission map is generated using the initial disparity map. Atmospheric light is then estimated using the color line theory. The defogged result is finally reconstructed using the estimated transmission map and atmospheric light. The proposed method can refine the transmission map iteratively. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully remove fog without color distortion. The proposed method can be used as a pre-processing step for an outdoor video analysis system and a high-end smartphone with a dual camera system.

Spherical Rectification Based Stereo Vision Applied to Hybrid Dual Camera Vision Systems
Spherical reprojection was introduced in omnidirectional vision mainly to simplify the projection model for single-viewpoint catadioptric sensors. It was then extended to omni-stereo systems to perform 3D information recovery and disparity map estimation. Although the same rectification technique has already been exploited also to the classical stereo-vision problem, no one has described its na...
متن کاملNew approach for attenuation correction in SPECT images, using linear optimization
Background: Photon attenuation as an inevitable physical phenomenon influences on the diagnostic information of SPECT images and results to errors in accuracy of quantitative measurements. This can be corrected via different physical or mathematical approaches. As the correction equation in mathematical approaches is nonlinear, in this study a new method of linearization called ‘Piece ...
متن کاملStereo Reconstruction and Contrast Restoration in Daytime Fog
Stereo reconstruction serves many outdoor applications, and thus sometimes faces foggy weather. The quality of the reconstruction by state of the art algorithms is then degraded as contrast is reduced with the distance because of scattering. However, as shown by defogging algorithms from a single image, fog provides an extra depth cue in the gray level of far away objects. Our idea is thus to t...

This paper presents an algorithm to remove fog from a single image using a Markov random field (MRF) framework. The method estimates the transmission map of an image degradation model by assigning labels with a MRF model and then optimizes the map estimation process using the graph cut-based α-expansion technique. The algorithm employs two steps. Initially, the transmission map is estimated usi...
