Firstly, the empirical relation of water content and visibility for fog is used to estimate fog drop size distribution. Secondly, the Mie scattering phase function is presented. And then the apparent extinction coefficient can be calculated. Finally, the forward scattering, backscattering and signal irradiance on photo-cathode varying with time and the image contrast between object and background are obtained when the effects of forward scattering are considered. The results demonstrate that the irradiance on object, backscattering and signal irradiance on photo-cathode are increased and the image contrast between object and background is decreased. During the gated time, the irradiance of forward scattering on photo-cathode is much less than backward scattering..

Then, all images and image set of each object are compressed to obtain low\|dimensional subspace, called the universal eigenspace and object eigenspace separately. Given an unknown input image, the recognition system projects the image into two kinds of eigenspace. The exact position of the projection in the eigenspace and the distribution formula of samples′ projections determine the object′s species and poses in the image. Experiments are conducted using several objects with complex appearance characteristics.

The reason of the degradation is that the method of adding the differences of the pixels′ gray value is used according to the corresponding position as degree of mismatching. The regions formed by image segmentation is a higher-level representation than pixels. Based on the technology of adaptive multi-thresholds image segmentation through potential function clustering, a new algorithm named weighted region template correlation (WRTC) is introduced, which constitutes a method to measure the various membership degree according to different regions. The results show that this new algorithm is robust to more image distortions and has its application value in image matching..

Gained a sparse set of characteristic parameters in three directions by automatic recognition, the vanishing points and vanishing lines are computed. With these projective attributes, the approach can build the model automatically. The key feature of the approach is an algebraic representation which unifies three typical measurements, and the approach keeps users from the problem of the camera′s internal calibration. We can save the data with VRML format, which gives a convenient way for browsing on internet. The approach has been shown to yield high quality results on a large variety of images..
