The sky regions of foggy image processed by all the existing conventional dehazing methods are degraded by color distortion and severe noise. This paper proposes an improved algorithm which combines dark channel prior and inverse image. We first invert the foggy image, and then estimate the transmission of the inverse image. At last, compared with the non-inversed transmission, the larger value...

Images/videos of outdoor scenes are usually degraded by the turbid medium in the atmosphere. In this paper, a novel single image-based dehazing framework is proposed to remove haze effects from image/video, where we propose two novel image priors, called the pixel-based dark channel prior and the pixel-based bright channel prior. Based on the two priors with the haze imaging model, we propose t...

We propose a new end-to-end single image dehazing method, called Densely Connected Pyramid Dehazing Network (DCPDN), which can jointly learn the transmission map, atmospheric light and dehazing all together. The endto-end learning is achieved by directly embedding the atmospheric scattering model into the network, thereby ensuring that the proposed method strictly follows the physicsdriven scat...

Outdoor images often suffer from low contrast and limited visibility due to haze, small particles such as dust, mist, and fumes which deflect light from its original course of propagation. Haze has two effects on the image: it weaken the imgage contrast and also adds an additive component to the image, so-called airlight. Recovering a haze-free image can restore the visibility of the scene and ...

Underwater environments often cause color scatter and color cast during photography. Color scatter is caused by haze effects occurring when light reflected from objects is absorbed or scattered multiple times by particles in the water. This in turn lowers the visibility and contrast of the image. Color cast is caused by the varying attenuation of light in different wavelengths, rendering underw...

Images obtained under adverse weather conditions, such as haze or fog, typically exhibit low contrast and faded colors, which may severely limit the visibility within the scene. Unveiling the image structure under the haze layer and recovering vivid colors out of a single image remains a challenging task, since the degradation is depth-dependent and conventional methods are unable to overcome t...
