In order to improve the visibility of a single hazy remote sensing multi-spectral image, we develop a novel and effective dehazing algorithm in HSI (hue, saturation and intensity) color space. First of all, the hazy image is transformed into HSI color space; then a linear regression model is built for saturation component image processing. In addition, we implement the improved dark channel prior method in the intensity channel processing. Compared with the traditional haze removal methods in remote-sensing images, the experimental results demonstrate that the developed algorithm can achieve better visual effect and better color fidelity. Both qualitative evaluations and quantitative assessments indicate that the proposed method achieves a better performance than the state-of-the-art methods.
