After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather. Thus, the Iraqi aviation reconnaissance system was developed to overcome this hurdle by implementing instant image rendering by developing this technology to remove fog and such hazy particles utilizing dark channel prior (DCP) image processing algorithm since this method is highly capable of resolving the fog/haze weather condition problems. The DCP algorithm suggested showed a reasonable enhancement of the images with foggy, hazy, and dusty conditions when the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was used to capture images at various altitudes correspondent to the same height most helicopters and reconnaissance UAVs fly at. Our main contribution is based on the evaluation of optimal values of DCP parameters/metrics to the hazy images and performs UAV image dehazing and enhancement.
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.
