By adopting an adaptive image quality evaluation method under adverse weather conditions, an advanced image defogging system has been developed. This system aims to predict the optimal algorithm for achieving the best image defogging results. The system integrates nine efficient defogging algorithms. To comprehensively evaluate the defogging performance of these algorithms, a set of evaluation metrics including PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS, ENL, MSE, and RMSE is employed to establish a comprehensive evaluation method. By calculating the values of these evaluation metrics, the optimal algorithm suitable for the image is predicted, and the defogged image produced by the optimal algorithm is processed to output the best-defogged image finally. All predicted data is stored in a database. When defogging an image, if there is matching data in the database, the corresponding optimal algorithm and imageprocessing are directly selected, thereby enhancing the overall defogging efficiency.

MWIR FPAs often contain a non-negligible number of dead pixels, and even clusters of pixels. In addition to the undesirable cosmetic effect that these flaws have on the output image, it can also be detrimental to downstream image exploitation efforts, including target detection and tracking algorithms. It is therefore necessary to mask such defects as early as possible, before it is exacerbated by the imaging pipeline processes, especially sharpening filters and contrast stretching, which are commonly used. This paper presents the results of an investigation into several dead-pixel replacement schemes of varying complexity, starting with simple replacement by the previous neighbor to interpolation using kernels of varying shapes and domain sizes. These are evaluated for accuracy, but also for their cluster-handling performance, latency impact, and suitability for real-time implementation on resource-constrained FPGA matrices. It is shown that asymmetric predictive kernels, optimized using neural nets or genetic algorithms, can offer significant improvements over naive last-good-neighbor replacement, while affording improved cluster-handling capability, low FPGA resource requirements, and incurring minimal and even zero latency.

Due to the critical importance of underwater pipeline integrity, particularly in the oil and gas transportation sector. This paper addresses the significance of applying low-rank matrix and sparse representation theories in the context of underwater imaging, with a primary focus on oil pipeline inspection. By comparing the effects of three algorithms on imageprocessing, the superiority of the Structured Low-Dimensional Representation (SLDR) algorithm is demonstrated. The research aims to enhance the accuracy and quality of underwater images, ensuring the safety and integrity of subaqueous pipeline systems.

imageprocessing design plays an important role in the overall performance of modern EO/IR cameras. Incorporating these functions into models and simulators presents a major design challenge, particularly for those cases where complex processing functions are required, such as those found in autonomous ATD/R systems. An established technique involves the use of image-based simulations which process pre- recorded imagery using representative imageprocessingalgorithms. However, such an approach requires extensive run times and a large volume of image data, both of which can be prohibitive. An alternative approach is presented here whereby a limited number of images are processed and then used to generate statistically based performance transfer functions utilising an appropriate interpolation scheme. These transfer functions are then used to represent the output response of the processing chain when the received imagery is subjected to different levels of degradations such as distortion and blurring. Such transfer functions can then be stored in multidimensional look-up tables which can be rapidly accessed by a system-level Monte Carlo performance simulation. The ability to represent and extract the performance-related transfer functions is dependent upon the image quality metrics, and the accuracy of the corresponding parametric model requires careful consideration of the model validation. An example simulation is presented based on an autonomous ATD/R sensor system mounted on an airborne platform. The importance of validation is demonstrated, and the increased run-time benefits are described. The proposed parametric image modelling approach provides sensor system designers with increased confidence in their design and compliance, and this helps reduces the early design risk.
