The lack of information content in the images captured under bad weather dominates the reason of poor visibility more, than due to the overall contrast or other. This paper presents a novel method for enhancement of weather degraded images. The proposed enhancement method is based upon the logarithmic image processing (LIP) framework and human visual system (HVS). The proposed method uses multiple images of the same scene in order to increase the information content and produce a visibly enhanced resultant image. A region based contrast measure called the logarithmic region contrast measure (LRCM) for finding the optimal value of location based parameters of the proposed method and its comparison with other traditional contrast measures has been presented here in this paper. The experimental results on two data sets of weather degraded images are included here in this correspondence.
