  • Publication number: 20240046421
    Abstract: A new image formation model for descattering different from the previous works based on atmospheric scattering model is established. It can provide a corresponding physical explanation for each scattering environment, illustrate a relationship between a light source position and scattering conditions and solve the problem of scattering removal under non-uniform illumination. Firstly, a dark angle of a camera is removed by an integrating sphere; then, a pure scattering part is found by an improved dark channel-like prior method; and finally, a zenith angle, an azimuth angle, an extinction coefficient and other related physical quantities are calculated according to the light attenuation and backscattering distribution of a scattering medium to eliminate the backscattering and light attenuation. Theoretically, the model can be used in any uniform scattering medium, such as underwater and fog environments, and works well in high-density media.
