A dehazing and enhancement algorithm for heterogeneous images of underground mining environments in coal mines by Xuhui ZHANG, Yanbin XIE, Wenjuan YANG, Chao ZHANG, Jicheng WAN, Zheng DONG, Yanqun WANG, Jie JIANG, Long LI

“…The results indicate that compared to the above novel and excellent algorithms in terms of their optimal indicators, the proposed algorithm exhibited that: (1) The average gradients were approximately twice those obtained by CEEF, suggesting elevated image clarity. (2) The average information entropy decreased by approximately 1% compared to that of MRP, implying more information preserved. (3) The standard deviation increased by approximately 6% on average compared to OSFD, representing improved image contrast. (4) The average fog aware density evaluator (FADE) value by approximately 23% compared to CEEF, implying an effective reduction in the haze Therefore, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the visual effects and quality of blurred images of underground mining environments in coal mines, exhibiting high utility in engineering.…”
