A model-driven approach is presented to monitor the meteorological visibility distance through use of ordinary outdoor cameras. Unlike in previous data-driven approaches, a physics-based model is proposed which describes the mapping function between the contrast distribution in the image and the atmospheric visibility. The model is non-linear, which allows encompassing a large spectrum of applications. The model assumes a continuous distribution of objects with respect to the distance in the scene and is estimated by a novel process. It is more robust to illumination variations by selecting the Lambertian surfaces in the scene. To evaluate the relevance of the approach, a publicly available database is used. When the model is fitted to short range data, the proposed method is shown to be effective and to improve on existing methods. In particular, it allows envisioning an easier deployment of these camera-based techniques on multiple observation sites.
