Abstract:Complex weather conditions such as smog and haze can significantly degrade the image quality captured by autonomous vehicles. Traditional image dehazing methods often suffer from limited effectiveness and low efficiency, which leads to reduced accuracy in environmental perception and poor real-time performance. These issues greatly impair the perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles and pose significant safety risks.To address these challenges, this paper introduces a multi-scale spatial feature extraction and feature fusion module to optimize the dehazing model through local connections and weight-sharing computations. Additionally, an optimized attention mechanism is incorporated into both the forward and backward propagation processes during the training of the dehazing model, resulting in a dehazing algorithm based on multi-algorithm fusion.The proposed dehazing algorithm is compared with traditional dehazing methods under various dataset conditions. The evaluation focuses on Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) as the primary performance metrics to analyze the dehazing effectiveness of different algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves more pronounced dehazing effects and higher efficiency, significantly enhancing the environmental perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles and thereby improving their overall driving safety.
