Abstract:
Systems and methods herein provide for improving visibility in a scene. In one embodiment, a system includes a first camera device operable to capture images of a scene at a first band of wavelengths, and a second camera device operable to capture images of the scene at a second band of wavelengths. The first and second bands are different. The system also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the first and second camera devices, the processor being operable to detect an object in the scene based on a first of the images from the first camera device and based on a first of the images from the second camera device that was captured at substantially a same time as the first image from the first camera device, to estimate an obscurant in the scene based on the first images, and to estimate a visibility parameter of the scene based on the object and the estimated obscurant.
