A new Artificial Vision Method for Bad Atmospheric Conditions.

We propose in this paper a method for enhancing vision through fog, based on Blind Source Separation (BSS). BSS method recovers independent source signals from a set of their linear mixtures, where the mixing matrix is unknown. The mixtures are represented in our work by the natural logarithm of the degraded image at different wavelength. These provide an additive mixture of transmittivity coefficient (related to fog) and reflectivity coefficient (related to each point of the scene). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
