An image dehazing method combining adaptive brightness transformation inequality to estimate transmittance is proposed to solve the problems of inaccurate transmittance estimation and incomplete dehazing in single image dehazing algorithms. Firstly
the brightness transformation inequality is applied to construct the scene depth by using brightness and inverse saturation
and a logarithmic transformation is used to expand gray scale. Secondly
regularization is used to optimize scene depth to solve the excessive difference between adjacent pixels and to approximate the exact depth of the scene. Then
according to the local constant assumption
the dynamic atmospheric scattering coefficient is estimated using local average depth and joint bilateral filtering
and the transmittance is obtained by combining the scene depth and dynamic atmospheric scattering coefficient. Finally
the median filtering and interval estimation are used to optimize the local atmospheric light
and clear image is recovered by the atmospheric scattering model. Experimental results show that the proposed method can adaptively adjust the model parameters in different scenes
thoroughly remove haze
and get better dehazing effect. At the same time
the average visual contrast in objective indexes reaches 60.572
with good image fidelity.
