Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the range of visibility in particular from a vehicle in an environment, characterised in that: at least one first image of said environment is recorded from the vehicle, preferably in the direction of travel of said vehicle, the luminance (L) at each point of said first image is recorded, a mask is applied to said first image and an averaging of said luminance (L) is carried out along the horizontal axis of said zone to give a vertical luminance curve (LV) as a function of each ordinate in said zone which has at least one point of inflection (I). A coefficient of extinction (k) for the fog is calculated from said vertical luminance curve (LV) and the visibility range (D) is calculated from said coefficient of extinction (k). The invention also relates to a method for determining the presence of fog.
