Abstract:

In foggy weather, the collected pictures have the problems of reduced clarity and color distortion. In order to obtain haze-free images with high quality, a hybrid dark channel prior algorithm is proposed in this study. The proposed algorithm employs Retinex algorithm to remove the interference of the illumination component. The variant chicken swarm optimization algorithm is used to obtain the guidance image required by the guided filter to optimize the atmospheric transmittance. The improved dark channel prior algorithm is used to obtain the fog removal image. Compared with other dark channel prior defogging algorithms, the mean standard deviation of the proposed method is reduced by 28.3%, the mean peak signal-to-noise ratio is increased by 10.3% and the mean entropy is increased by 8.0%. In this study, the pictures of different haze levels under the same scene are tested. The results show that the pictures are clear, the details are intact, and the evaluation standard values are basically stable. The above test results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high robustness and color fidelity capabilities.
