Retinex filtering and thresholding of foggy images
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, we have discussed the use of GIMP Retinex, a filter of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, for enhancing images in several applications, ranging from those obtained by microscopes to the images coming from satellites. Retinex can also enhance foggy images: here we investigate the role of GIMP filter in their thresholding for binarization.

Retinex filtering of foggy images: generation of a bulk set with selection and ranking
In this paper we are proposing the use of GIMP Retinex, a filter of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, for enhancing foggy images. This filter involves adjusting four different parameters to find the output image which has to be preferred according to some specific purposes. Aiming to obtain a processing, which is able of choosing automatically the best image from a given set, we are proposing...
متن کاملEffects of GIMP Retinex Filtering Evaluated by the Image Entropy
A GIMP Retinex filtering can be used for enhancing images, with good results on foggy images, as recently discussed. Since this filter has some parameters that can be adjusted to optimize the output image, several approaches can be decided according to desired results. Here, as a criterion for optimizing the filtering parameters, we consider the maximization of the image entropy. We use, beside...
متن کاملResearch on Foggy Image Enhancement Algorithm based on Improved Retinex Theory
In order to improve the image quality in fog, this paper presents a fog-image enhancement algorithm based on adaptive guided image filter Retinex theory. Firstly convert the image from the RGB color space to the HSV color space, Then, the luminance image is estimated by adaptive guided image filter, the saturation image is linearly stretched. Finally, the image is transformed back from HSV colo...
متن کاملDocument Image Binarization Using Retinex and Global Thresholding
Document images are usually degraded in the course of photocopying, faxing, printing, or scanning. Degradation problems seems negligible to human eyes but can be responsible for an abrupt decline in accuracy by the current generation of optical character recognition (OCR) systems. In this paper we present a binarization method based on retinex theory followed by a global threshold. The proposed...
متن کاملFinger-Vein Image Enhancement Using a Fuzzy-Based Fusion Method with Gabor and Retinex Filtering
Because of the advantages of finger-vein recognition systems such as live detection and usage as bio-cryptography systems, they can be used to authenticate individual people. However, images of finger-vein patterns are typically unclear because of light scattering by the skin, optical blurring, and motion blurring, which can degrade the performance of finger-vein recognition systems. In respons...
