A novel dehazing framework for road accidents prevention
摘要
The drivers’ vision is affected due to the presence of several air pollutants such as fog, haze, and smog. Several image dehazing techniques have been designed in last decade to restore visibility in diverse applications. The image quality deteriorates due to attenuation of light with increase in depth. It suffers from various adverse effects such as edge distortion, color distortion, poor contrast, and saturation. Some researchers also designed real-time video dehazing architectures but are less effective. This paper provides a thorough review and discusses current advancements in the field of visibility restoration utilizing dehazing technologies. A novel single image dehazing algorithm called ClarityGAN is designed using FRIDA, FRIDA2, RESIDE, and HUDRS. It utilizes a combination of several loss functions to optimize generator and discriminator. It outperforms several existing prior-, CNN-, and GAN-based dehazing algorithms in terms of different performance metrics. It improves
