IIT Roorkee Develops Algorithm For Smooth Driving in Foggy Weather

The team of researchers at the leading institute has developed an efficient architecture and algorithm to enable better driving experience in low visibility conditions, according to the IIT-Roorkee press release.

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, has developed a system to facilitate smooth driving and minimize foggy weather accidents.

The team of researchers at the leading institute has developed an efficient architecture and algorithm to enable better driving experience in low visibility conditions, according to the IIT-Roorkee press release.

Hundreds of road accidents are caused by fog every year.

The research was published in the journal IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.

"The aim of this research was to design a real-time defogging system that produces a clear image stream from the foggy frame input," said one of the researchers, Brajesh Kumar Kaushik.

"The collision of vehicles due to poor visibility caused by fog causes many fatalities every year.

This advanced defogging system will help drivers by providing real-time information and minimizing the risks of road and train mishaps due to fog, "said IIT Roorkee Director Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi.
