The invention discloses a rapid single-image defogging
algorithm based on dark channel prior and
information synthesis and implementation of the rapid single-image defogging
algorithm based on dark channel prior and
information synthesis on hardware platforms. A
transmission image required by a defogging model is rapidly synthesized through the minimum value in an R channel, a G channel and a
B channel in image
color space, image gradients and a dark channel image with specific conditions, the step of solving the
transmission image with a soft matting method in an original dark channel prior defogging
algorithm is replaced, and dark channel calculation is optimized. By means of the rapid single-image defogging algorithm, original calculation of large-scale sparse matrixes is changed into comparison among corresponding pixels of several different information images, the calculation amount is greatly decreased, and results with the ideal degree the same as that of results of the original algorithm can be obtained under most conditions; meanwhile, as the calculation amount is decreased, and
floating point calculation with the quite high accuracy requirement in the original algorithm is replaced by the pixel comparison method, the rapid single-image defogging algorithm can be more easily implemented on the hardware platforms such as FPGA and DSP; in addition, as the consumed time of the rapid single-image defogging algorithm is greatly shortened, and the rapid single-image defogging algorithm can be implemented on the hardware platforms, the real-
time processing capacity is theoretically achieved.
