Adaptive Image Dehazing via Improving Dark Channel Prior
The dark channel prior (DCP) technique is an effective method to enhance hazy images. Dark channel is an image with the same size as the hazy image which represents the haze severity in different places of the image. The DCP method suffers from two problems: it is incapable for removing haze from smooth regions, causing blocking effects on these areas; it cannot properly reduce a haze with a no...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
متن کاملThe Cross-Entropy Method for Estimation
This chapter describes how difficult statistical estimation problems can often be solved efficiently by means of the cross-entropy (CE) method. The CE method can be viewed as an adaptive importance sampling procedure that uses the cross-entropy or Kullback–Leibler divergence as a measure of closeness between two sampling distributions. The CE method is particularly useful for the estimation of ...
متن کاملEntropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملOptimal Detection under the Restricted Bayesian Criterion
This paper aims to find a suitable decision rule for a binary composite hypothesis-testing problem with a partial or coarse prior distribution. To alleviate the negative impact of the information uncertainty, a constraint is considered that the maximum conditional risk cannot be greater than a predefined value. Therefore, the objective of this paper becomes to find the optimal decision rule to ...
