1. A method for image and video clarification, the method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of raw images using a digital or analog camera;
determining, by a computer processor, parameters for a set of framelet clarification filters in an image processing software;
processing, by the computer processor, the plurality of raw images using the set of framelet clarification filters to filter each raw image, wherein the set of framelet clarification filters generates decomposition analysis coefficients that are non-linearly transformed and applies a synthesis multiscale transform by combining the transformed analysis coefficients or other multiscale transform coefficients obtained from the generation of the decomposition analysis coefficients; and
displaying the processed plurality of raw images via clarifying software to obtain a clear video image with an increased radius of visibility in real time, wherein the clarifying software is a combination of the imaging processing software and the set of the framelet analysis and synthesis clarification filters,
wherein the framelet clarification filters generate the decomposition analysis coefficients and apply the synthesis multiscale transform on the non-linearly transformed decomposition analysis coefficients to obtain the processed plurality of raw images with the increased radius of visibility, and
wherein the non-linearly transformed decomposition analysis coefficients depend on the sparsity, orientation, and anisotropy of the framelet clarification filters.
