Sumario:Dark channel prior (DCP) has been widely used in single image defogging because of its simple implementation and satisfactory performance. This paper addresses the shortcomings of the DCP-based defogging algorithm and proposes an optimized method by using an adaptive fusion mechanism. This proposed method makes full use of the smoothing and “squeezing” characteristics of the Logistic Function to obtain more reasonable dark channels avoiding further refining the transmission map. In addition, a maximum filtering on dark channels is taken to improve the accuracy of dark channels around the object boundaries and the overall brightness of the defogged clear images. Meanwhile, the location information and brightness information of fog image are weighed to obtain more accurate atmosphere light. Quantitative and qualitative comparisons show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art image defogging algorithms.
