The Method of UAV Image Object Detection under Foggy Weather by Style Transfer

Under the bad weather conditions such as foggy or rainy weather, the details of UAV images are seriously lost. Consequently, directly detecting without dehazing may lead to object missing and wrong inspection. Although the method of dehazing firstly and then detecting can significantly improve the d...
