• Abstract summary: We introduce a structure-representation network with uncertainty feedback learning. Specifically, we extract the feature representations from a pre-trained Vision Transformer (DINO-ViT) module to recover the background information. To handle the intractability of estimating the atmospheric light colors, we exploit the grayscale version of our input image.

• Abstract: Few existing image defogging or dehazing methods consider dense and non-uniform particle distributions, which usually happen in smoke, dust and fog. Dealing with these dense and/or non-uniform distributions can be intractable, since fog's attenuation and airlight (or veiling effect) significantly weaken the background scene information in the input image. To address this problem, we introduce a structure-representation network with uncertainty feedback learning. Specifically, we extract the feature representations from a pre-trained Vision Transformer (DINO-ViT) module to recover the background information. To guide our network to focus on non-uniform fog areas, and then remove the fog accordingly, we introduce the uncertainty feedback learning, which produces the uncertainty maps, that have higher uncertainty in denser fog regions, and can be regarded as an attention map that represents fog's density and uneven distribution. Based on the uncertainty map, our feedback network refines our defogged output iteratively. Moreover, to handle the intractability of estimating the atmospheric light colors, we exploit the grayscale version of our input image, since it is less affected by varying light colors that are possibly present in the input image. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method both quantitatively and qualitatively compared to the state-of-the-art methods in handling dense and non-uniform fog or smoke.

  Imaging through dense fog presents unique challenges, with essential visual information crucial for applications like object detection and recognition obscured, thereby hindering conventional image processing methods. We introduce in this paper a novel method that adaptively filters background illumination based on Structural Differential and Integral Filtering (F) to enhance only vital signal information. Our findings demonstrate that our proposed method significantly enhances signal clarity under extremely low visibility conditions and out-performs existing techniques, offering substantial improvements for deep fog imaging applications.

  We propose an Adaptive Multi-scale Fusion network (AMFusion) with infrared and visible images. First, we separately fuse spatial and semantic features from infrared and visible images, where the former are used for the adjustment of light distribution. Second, we utilize detection features extracted by a pre-trained backbone that guide the fusion of semantic features. Third, we propose a new illumination loss to constrain fusion image with normal light intensity.

This refined decomposition facilitates the proposed model in identifying more interfering pixels that are in complex scenes.
