How can i remove smoke from an image using matlab?

Hello. I am student in Mechanical Engineering and i am working on a project in motion detection and speed estimation. I used a Hispec camera to capture the movement of an object. In some images/frames there is smoke. Is there any filter that can help me remove smoke? I used median and average filter but they didn't work out. Sorry for my English. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing built in to MATLAB to do this. You will have to come up with some algorithm and code it up yourself. Perhaps you can use the one invented at the University of Dayton: http://www.udayton.edu/engineering/vision_lab/video_preprocessing/fog_haze_removal.php
