Dehazing With A See-Through Near-Eye Display

Kuang-Tsu Shih, Kai-En Lin, Homer H. Chen

Abstract: Human perception of the visual world in the presence of fog or haze usually suffers from loss of color and details. In this demo, we show a powerful technique to provide a see-through head-mounted display with the image dehazing capability. Our method utilizes an auxiliary image projected from the head-mounted device onto our eyes to enhance our perception and the contrast and brightness of the visual world. This method can be applied to tourism, military, and navigation to overcome poor visual condition.
