A RETINEX based haze removal method
Sudharsan Parthasarathy, Praveen Sankaran · 2012
One of the most interesting problems in recent times in image processing and computer vision is fog, haze and rain removal from images. In this paper we shall consider the problem of haze removal. One of the latest haze removal algorithms proposed by Kaiming et al. [1] uses a dark channel prior based approach for haze removal. Though this approach gives very good results, this method is computationally complex. In this paper we propose a RETINEX based approach that gives good results and is also computationally simpler.
