description | Affected by the uneven concentration of coal dust and low illumination, most of the images captured in the top-coal caving face have low definition, high haze and serious noise. In order to improve the visual effect of underground images captured in the top-coal caving face, a novel single-channel Retinex dedusting algorithm with frequency domain prior information is proposed to solve the problem that Retinex defogging algorithm cannot effectively defog and denoise, simultaneously, while preserving image details. Our work is inspired by the simple and intuitive observation that the low frequency component of dust-free image will be amplified in the symmetrical spectrum after adding dusts. A single-channel multiscale Retinex algorithm with color restoration (MSRCR) in YIQ space is proposed to restore the foggy approximate component in wavelet domain. After that the multiscale convolution enhancement and fast non-local means (FNLM) filter are used to minimize noise of detail components while retaining sufficient details. Finally, a dust-free image is reconstructed to the spatial domain and the color is restored by white balance. By comparing with the state-of-the-art image dedusting and defogging algorithms, the experimental results have shown that the proposed algorithm has higher contrast and visibility in both subjective and objective analysis while retaining sufficient details. |
