Sharpness-aware real-time haze removal for advanced driver assistance systems
Joonggeun Ahn, Ji-Hoon Kim, Youngjoo Lee · 2016
This paper proposes a new haze-removal scheme for automotive applications. In contrast that the previous works focus on enhancing the quality of haze-free images, the proposed algorithm sharpens the edges of lanes by adopting the weighting filter. Moreover, the previous internal steps, which cannot improve the sharpness of lanes, are removed to reduce the computing overheads. As a result, the proposed haze-removal algorithm improves the sharpness of lanes remarkably, while providing the real-time image processing for advanced driver assistance systems.
