Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computer vision has extensive applications in various fields, including areas such as outdoor navigation, security surveillance, object detection, underwater exploration, and target recognition. Possessing a high-quality clear image is crucial if computer vision systems are to obtain accurate visual information. However, under various complex imaging conditions, such as fog, haze, rain, snow, low-light and underwater environments, the acquired images suffer from severe color distortion, scene blurring, and poor clarity, significantly impacting their applications and restricting related research in these fields.
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the recent advances in the field of image enhancement and restoration. Enhancing and restoring low-quality images affected by adverse weather or other conditions is crucial for achieving accurate and reliable visual information extraction. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and experts to share their innovative approaches, methodologies, and findings in addressing the challenges and advancing the state of the art in this field.
