In order to solve the problem of low contrast image and loss of image details in the foggy weather, the image defogging technique is used to remove the noise in the image and improve the image contrast, so as to recover a clear and fog-free image. In this paper, we mainly introduce three image defogging algorithms: global histogram equalization, local histogram equalisation and the Retinex algorithm. The advantages and shortcomings of each algorithm are summarised through the study of the principles of each algorithm and the comparative analysis of the experimental result.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
