Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Many enhancement methods for the visibility improvement of hazy image have been proposed. However, the conventional methods have some problems such as causing unnatural color tones and/or artifacts. In this report, to cope with these problems, we propose an enhancement of hazy image using convex combination coefficients of white, black, and pure color. In the proposed method, multiscale smoothing-based image enhancement is firstly applied to the brightness of an input image in order to obtain a clear and high contrast enhanced image. Then, a scheme using modified gamma transform and histogram specification is applied to the enhanced image in order to obtain a high saturation enhanced image. In the experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by qualitative and quantitative evaluations.
