Abstract :
Nyctalopia, millions of people all over the world suffering from which, brings much trouble to the patients. The available night vision systems are poor in user experience but cost much. In this paper we design and implement an Augmented-Reality night vision enhancement application for see-through glasses. According to our model proposed for the night blindness, fast and efficient algorithms are used for both night vision enhancement and display calibration. The processed images are much brighter and aligned to the real world. The results in different daily life scenes are presented, indicating huge convenience the application will bring to the nyctalopia patients.
