Logarithmic image processing is an image enhancement technique that enhances the contrast and details of an image by transforming the image pixel values into the logarithmic domain. This technology is particularly effective when dealing with images with poor visibility, such as low light or haze.
The basic principle of logarithmic image processing is to map image pixel values to the logarithmic domain, as follows:
I_log = log(1 + I)登录后复制
Where:

I_log is the pixel value in the logarithmic domain
I is the original pixel value

Through logarithmic transformation, the contrast in the darker areas of the image is enhanced, while the contrast in the brighter areas is reduced. This makes the details of the image clearer, thereby improving the overall visibility of the image.
2. Haze Removal Algorithm
2.1 Logarithmic Image Haze Removal Model
2.1.1 Model Principle
The logarithmic image haze removal model converts a hazy image into a logarithmic image and assumes that the minimum value of the product of scene radiance and atmospheric light in the logarithmic image equals the minimum value of scene radiance. Based on this assumption, the following logarithmic image haze removal model can be established:
log(I(x, y)) = log(J(x, y)) - βt(x, y)登录后复制
Where:

I(x, y)：Hazy image
J(x, y)：Dehazed image
β：Atmospheric scattering coefficient
t(x, y)：Transmittance

2.1.2 Parameter Estimation
To estimate the parameters in the model, the following formulas are used:
β = arg min ∑(log(I(x, y)) - log(J(x, y)))^2登录后复制
t(x, y) = arg min ∑(log(I(x, y)) - log(J(x, y)) + βt(x, y))^2登录后复制
2.2 Implementation of Haze Removal Algorithm
2.2.1 Code Structure
import numpy as npimport cv2def dehaze(image, beta): # Convert the image to a logarithmic image log_image = np.log(image) # Estimate the transmittance t = np.min(log_image) # Dehaze dehazed_image = np.exp(log_image - beta * t) return dehazed_image登录后复制

beta: Atmospheric scattering coefficient

3. Dark Channel Prior Image Enhancement Algorithm
3.1 Dark Channel Prior Image Enhancement Model
3.1.1 Model Principle
The dark channel prior image enhancement algorithm is based on the dark channel prior, which assumes that the distribution of dark channels in the image follows a Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability di
