Rain Streaks Detection and Removal in Image based on Entropy Maximization and Background Estimation

Abstract

The rain removal from an image in the rainy season is also a required task to identify the object in it. It is a challenging problem and has been recently investigate extensively. In this paper the entropy maximization and background estimation based method is used for the rain removal. This method is based on single-image rain removal framework. The raindrops are greatly differing from the background, as the intensity of rain drops is higher the background. The entropy maximization is very much suitable for the rain removal. Experimental results express the efficacy of the rain removal by proposed algorithm is better than the method based on saturation and visibility features.
