| Abstract | Images captured in foggy weather conditions get highly degraded due to suffering from poor contrast and loss of color characteristics. This paper presents a contrast enhancement algorithm for such degraded color images. To restore both contrast and color we propose following four steps: 1) RGB component of the input image is converted into Hue Intensity Saturation (HIS) components; 2) Applying a novel contrast enhancement technique on Intensity (I) component. This is done on the I component due to the well known fact that human vision system is more sensitive to this component as compared with other components (i.e. H, S); and then 3) apply Gamma correction method on the S component for color restoration; finally, 4) combining H, I, S components to get back RGB components. Besides proposed method being simple, experimental results show that the proposed method is very effective in contrast and color enhancement as compared to other competitive methods.
