A correction method for aero-optics thermal radiation effects based on gradient distribution and dark channel

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to remove the effects of aerodynamic optical thermal radiation from a single infrared image. In this method, the joint probability model of gradient distribution is introduced by studying the "global smoothing and local fluctuation" characteristics of the bias field. A prior L-0 norm of dark channel is introduced to constrain the latent clear image. Finally, the split Bregman method is used to solve the optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a series of experiments, and the results are compared with the results of the existing methods for the correction of thermal radiation effects.
