연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method for determining a level of haze within a field of view of an image sensor adapted for detecting a plurality of color components includes collecting a first image of the field of view at a first point in time, defining regions of the first image as a reference and determining reference intensities for each color component. At least one second image is collected at different points in time and intensities for each color component are determined and compared against the reference intensities. If the intensities of second image differ from the refer...

The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more regions of the first image correspond to one or more stationary objects within the field of view, and wherein optical properties of the one or more stationary objects and distances between the image sensor and the one or more stationary objects are at least approximately known. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of determining reference intensities further comprises calculating an optical depth to each of the one or more stationary objects. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of determining intensities for each of the one or more color components within the at least one second image comprises calculating an optical depth to each of the one or more stationary objects at the one or more second points in time, and the step of comparing includes determining a change in the optical depth to determine a level of obscuration at the one or more second points in time. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of haze conditions comprise ideal conditions or correctable to near-ideal conditions. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more color components comprise a plurality of colors of a standard color model. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the standard color model is RGB. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising processing the output to remove effects of the haze from the image. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of defining one or more regions of the first image comprises segmenting the first image into a plurality of tiles to define a plurality of reference tiles. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of determining reference intensities comprises normalizing intensity values for each of the one or more color components for each region and generating a cumulative histogram of intensity for each of the one or more color components to define a reference set of histograms. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of determining intensities for each of the one or more color components within the at least one second image comprises segmenting the at least one second image into the plurality of tiles, normalizing intensity values for each color component for each tile and generating a cumulative histogram of intensity for each color component to define a second set of histograms, wherein the second set of histograms is compared against the reference set of histograms. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising replacing the reference set of histograms with the second set of histograms if the step of comparing indicates decreased haze conditions in the at least one second image. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein decreased haze conditions correspond to a broader histogram. 14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions, that in response to be executed, result in a processor executing the steps of: (a) collecting a first image of one or more objects within the field of view of an image sensor at a first point in time at which a first set of haze conditions are present, wherein the image sensor is adapted to detect one or more color components;(b) defining one or more regions of the first image as a reference;(c) determining reference intensities for each of the one or more color components for the reference;(d) collecting at least one second image of one or more objects within the field of view at one or more second points in time at which a different second set of haze conditions are present;(e) determining intensities for each of the one or more color components within the at least one second image;(f) comparing the intensities for each of the one or more color components of the at least one second image against the reference intensities;(g) if the intensities of the at least one second image differs from the reference intensity by more than a predetermined threshold, designating all or a portion of the at least one second image as being obscured by haze; and(h) generating an output identifying the designated portions of the at least second image as requiring correction. 15.
