[0192] According to the calculation result of formula (II), determining whether the brightness pixel values of the first image and the second image are within a preset range;
[0193] If not, based on the brightness similarity value, the defogging factor is adjusted, and the first image and the second image are readjusted until the brightness pixel values of the first image and the second image are within a preset range.
[0194] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Since the image behind the vehicle is extremely susceptible to environmental influences, resulting in unclear images, the visibility characteristics of the current environment are determined by judging the blur characteristics of the image, and the corresponding defogging factor is queried to defog the image. In order to ensure the consistency of clarity of the subsequently established environmental model, the brightness similarity value of the defogged image is calculated to determine whether the defogging result meets the requirements, and the corresponding operations are performed to ensure the integrity of the subsequently established environmental model.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
