The single image dehazing based on efficient transmission estimation
Soowoong Jeong, Sangkeun Lee · 2013
In this paper, we propose a novel method for estimating the transmission and removing the haze from single image. This method is based on observation that the property of haze is widely spread. Thus its estimated transmission should be smoothly changed over the scene. We employed the local entropy and log function for estimating the atmospheric light and the smooth transmission. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can be applied efficiently to outdoor vision applications or devices including cameras and camcorders with low complexity.
