Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new method for enhancing the visibility of human vision. In particular we propose a method for avoiding glare caused by strong incident light, such as sunlight and headlight of oncoming vehicles, in driving situations. Our method controls the transmittance of incident light pixel by pixel according to the power of the incident light. For computing the transmittance of light efficiently from camera images, we propose a leaning based method utilizing a generative adversarial network (GAN). By using our method, the visibility of drivers can be improved drastically, and objects in dark place become visible even under strong backlight, such as sunlight and headlight of oncoming vehicles.
