Fog detection through use of a CCD onboard camera VISION 2004 – Rouen – 28 septembre 2004 Introduction Measuring the atmospheric visibility: • Estimates the operation range of onboard perception sensors. • Constitutes a driving assistance. This work is part of the french ARCOS project.
Fog detection through use of a CCD onboard camera VISION 2004 – Rouen – 28 septembre 2004 Fog, light and vision • Fog microstructure • Fog is a concentration of water droplets suspended in the air, bringing visibility below one kilometer. • Light scattering • The daylight is scattered by fog droplets in all directions. This effect is described by an extinction coefficient k. • Visibility impairment • The fog reduces distant contrasts. This effect is described by the meteorological visibility: the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions can be seen.
