Uurmi's fog removal software eliminates fog present in the photo and applies correction to improve the image. It uses a spatial diffusion filtering-based approach with local contrast enhancement to remove fog during the image post-processing stage. It also offers fog correction for images captured from un-calibrated camera systems. Uurmi's software provides fog correction with scene sharpness preservation and is capable of fog/non-fog region separation.
