Visibility Estimation in Foggy Conditions by In-Vehicle Camera and Radar

We propose a method of judging fog density by using invehicle camera images and millimeter-wave (mm-W) radar data. This method determines fog density by evaluating both the visibility of a preceding vehicle and the distance to it. Experiments revealed that judgments made by the proposed method achieved an 85% precision rate compared to that made by human subjects.
