Enhancing the perception of a hazy visual world using a see-through head-mounted device
Human perception of the visual world in the presence of fog or haze usually suffers from loss of color vibrance and details. In this paper we propose a novel method to provide a see-through head-mounted display with image dehazing capability. The proposed method projects an auxiliary image from the head-mounted device to the user's retina. The introduction of the auxiliary image enhances the contrast and brightness of the perceived visual world. This method can be applied to tourism, military, and navigation to overcome poor visual condition.
