Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of target measurement, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for measuring target visibility. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, visibility plays a crucial role in transportation and aircraft takeoff and landing. The commonly used visibility detection equipment is the infrared scattering visibility detector, but this equipment is expensive and can only measure visibility in the vicinity of the instrument, which cannot meet the requirements for large-scale visibility measurement.

The main algorithms for camera-based visibility measurement include contrast measurement, luminance measurement, and neural network measurement. Contrast and luminance methods are susceptible to various factors, resulting in unstable measurement results.
