Hazy image modeling using color ellipsoids
Kristofor B. Gibson, Truong Q. Nguyen · 2011
Several methods exist that try to remove haze from a single image but they lack in the support for why a particular method was chosen. The idea of using color ellipsoids is presented in this paper for the purpose of developing a new framework for analyzing single image dehazing methods. Synthetic and real world images are used to support important properties of the color ellipsoids that give a queue to the amount of haze in an image. As an example of its usefulness, a single dehazing method is analyzed within the color ellipsoid framework.
