Abstract:
In this paper, we develop a perceptually based contrast enhancement metric as a means to solve the problem of autonomously enhancing images degraded by fog that are perceptually pleasing to humans. A learning based approach is considered to develop the contrast enhancement using human observations and low-level contrast enhancement metrics based on the human vision system. In addition, we provide new low-level metrics based on the physics of the scene to improve the performance of existing contrast enhancement metrics. This paper shows that a contrast enhancement metric can be designed to mimic human preference.

Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
