Abstract

Binocular vision is an effective technique for depth estimation in outdoor applications. However, the performance of this technique can be affected by low-contrasted images captured in the presence of scattering particles. This paper presents a binocular vision-based method for image dehazing and depth estimation in a scattering medium. First, the disparity map of the scene is computed from captured binocular images. Next, the atmospheric parameters of the medium and scene depth are determined with a proposed estimation method. Finally, undegraded images of the scene are obtained using an atmospheric optics restoration method. The theoretical foundations of the proposed approach are reviewed, and an experimental validation is presented utilizing a laboratory platform.
