An Improved Algorithm for Single Image Haze Removal
Hung‐Yuan Chung, Yao-Liang Chung, Yushan Chen · 2018
Here, an algorithm for effectively removing image haze that combines an improved dark channel prior algorithm with the White-Patch Retinex algorithm is introduced. The proposed algorithm can, given its effective design, not only remove haze from an image, but also prevent the following problems that can result from use of the dark channel prior algorithm: 1) halo effect, 2) color distortion, and 3) excessively long operating time. The experimental results provide clear evidence that the new algorithm has superior performance and effectiveness compared to the dark channel prior algorithm, indicating its good potential for use in various applications.
