  • On account of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) reconnaissance images under the hazy weather conditions, considering the characteristics of UAV itself, this paper proposes a novel method for dehazing UAV reconnaissance images based on image enhancement. Through automatic white balance and contrast enhancement for images respectively, the final restored image can be obtained based on image fusion and auto levels. Then we choose UAV reconnaissance images for haze removal and evaluate the result of the experiment from the perspective of subjective and objective. The experimental results show that the image evaluation indexes of dehazing images are improved obviously. Compared with other typical haze removal methods, the comprehensive index of the image restored by the proposed method increases, which proves that the proposed method can obtain excellent dehazing effect.
