IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18341617 Titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This application is an image processing method that aims to repair color images taken in extreme weather conditions such as fog, haze, or smoke. It uses computer vision technologies to achieve this. The method involves obtaining a depth map and a color image of the same scene, captured by a depth sensor and a camera respectively. It then determines the atmospheric light value and performs depth completion on the depth map to obtain a more accurate second depth map. Based on this second depth map, it determines the transmittance of the scene. Finally, it applies repair processing on the color image using the atmospheric light value and transmittance to improve the overall image quality. By using the second depth map, the method achieves a higher precision in determining the transmittance, resulting in better image processing results.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provide an image processing method, and relate to the field of computer vision technologies, to perform repair processing on a color image in a fog/haze/smoke extreme weather condition. The image processing method includes: obtaining a first depth map and a color image, where the first depth map and the color image are images respectively shot by a depth sensor and a camera for a same scene; determining an atmospheric light value; performing depth completion on the first depth map to obtain a second depth map, and determining a transmittance based on the second depth map; and performing repair processing on the color image based on the atmospheric light value and the transmittance. The second depth map is used to determine the transmittance, and therefore, a transmittance of higher precision is obtained, thereby improving an image processing effect.
