Abstract

See full text

The disclosure herein relates to methods and systems for localized smoke removal and color restoration of a real-time video. Conventional techniques apply the de-smoking process only on a single image, by finding the regions having the smoke, based on manual air-light estimation. In addition, regaining original colors of de-smoked image is quite challenging. The present disclosure herein solves the technical problems. In the first stage, video frames having the smoky and smoke-free video frames are identified, from the video received in the real-time. In the second stage, an air-light is estimated automatically using a combined feature map. An intermediate de-smoked video frame for each smoky video frame is generated based on the air-light using a de-smoking algorithm. In the third and the last stage, a smoke-free video reference frame is used to compensate for color distortions introduced by the de-smoking algorithm in the second stage.
