Image Based Visibility and Speed Estimation under Fog Condition

Author : Jeevan S 1 Usha L 2

Date of Publication :7th May 2016

Abstract: Fog is considered to be one of the causes of road accidents while driving a vehicle. Therefore, In order to reduce the accidents or at least limiting their impact, vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). For this reason, there is a need of system which is capable to detect the presence of fog, estimate the visibility distance and maximum speed that the vehicle should travel. It works for day time fog detection on images.
