Abstract

Abstract

To solve the problem of low adaptability in existing dehazing algorithms caused by the randomness and complexity of atmospheric environment, an adaptive closed-loop dehazing algorithm based on the feedback mechanism is proposed. Firstly, parameters in the proposed algorithm are initialized according to human visual system based characteristic cognitive assessment. Secondly, the estimation of dehazing strength is given as the feedback to correct parameters of local contrast adjustment method, and then adaptively improve the local contrast of image after removing additive light. Finally, the terminating condition is set according to the naturalness of image after dehazing to determine whether to output the result. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can adaptively improve the contrast of hazy images with a variety of degradation types and degrees, and the evaluation of information entropy and definition of dehazing results is better than those of other existing algorithms.
