Abstract
The atmospheric scattering model is one of the most widely used model to describe the optical imaging processing of hazy images. However, the global atmospheric light used in the traditional atmospheric scattering model has limitations in describing images with varying local environmental illumination. In this paper, by extending the global atmospheric light to the local illumination, a non-uniform scattering model is proposed, which can better describe real scenes under non-uniform environmental illumination. Based on this model, an adaptive local illumination estimation for hazy image is proposed, which can adapt to the local differences of environment illumination. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can outperform the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of not only the non-uniform scattering removal but also the adaptability.
