Modern vehicles are equipped with many cameras and their use in many practical applications is extensive. Detecting the presence of fog from images of a camera mounted in vehicles is a very challenging task with the potential to be used in many practical applications. Approaches introduced until now analyze properties of local objects in the image like lane markings, traffic signs, back lights of vehicles in front or head lights of approaching vehicles. By contrast to all these related works we propose to use image descriptors and a classification procedure in order to distinguish images with fog present from those free of fog. These image descriptors are global and describe the entire image using Gabor filters at different frequencies, scales and orientations. Our experiments demonstrated hight potential of the proposed method for fog detection on daytime images.
