AI system adapts dehazing for clearer vision in smoke

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an input-adaptive gating system for a dehazing front-end designed for on-device perception in smoke-obscured environments. This system, tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B using TensorFlow Lite, aims to improve firefighter assistance by enhancing edge detection in smoky conditions. The adaptive gating approach selectively applies the dehazing process only when a haze estimate exceeds a certain threshold, leading to improved accuracy and a significant reduction in processing time compared to always dehazing or never dehazing.

    Input-Adaptive Gating of a Dehazing Front-End for On-Device Perception in Smoke-Obscured Environments

    arXiv:2608.30034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two-stage vision pipelines often place an enhancement network before a task network, on the assumption that a cleaner input produces a better output. We evaluate this in a firefighter assistance pipeline, where a dehazer precedes an…
