Digital image restoration techniques using MATLAB: Digital image processing using MATLAB

The visibility of outdoor images is greatly degraded due to the presence of fog, haze, smog, etc. The poor visibility may cause the failure of computer vision applications such as intelligent transportation systems, surveillance systems, and object tracking. To resolve this problem, many image restoration techniques have been developed. These techniques play an important role in improving the performance of various computer vision applications. Due to this, the researchers are attracted toward the visibility restoration techniques. It has been found that the majority of existing techniques suffer from various issues such as edge distortion, color distortion, texture distortion, halo artefacts, gradient reversal artefacts, and poor computational speed. In this book, various visibility restoration techniques are implemented in this book using MATLAB 2017a with image processing toolbox. Also, various performance measures, applications, and future directions are also presented.
