Single Image Haze Removal with Pixel-based Transmission Map Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Adversary imaging condition such as in a hazy weather is a challenge in the community of image processing. To address the challenge of haze removal, several model-based approaches have been reported recently. Among them, a single image haze removal scheme based on dark channel prior (DCP) was presented in [1] and has been getting popular because of its satisfactory performance for most of cases. However, it is well-known that the DCP scheme is inherent of two fundamental problems: high computational cost and overexposure. In this paper, the objective of proposed dehazing algorithm (PDA) is to deal with the two problems in [1], where atmospheric light is estimated from the dark channel and pixel-based transmission map estimation is employed. Examples are given to verify the PDA where comparison with the DCP scheme and other wellknown schemes are made as well. The simulation results indicate that the PDA has similar or better dehazing performance than the compared schemes in the given examples, when both mood retention and visibility improvement are considered. Key-Words: haze removal, dark channel prior, halo, soft matting, transmission refinement, over-exposure

Image Haze Removal via Haze Density Analysis Based on Pixel-based Dark Channel Prior
Images/videos of outdoor scenes are usually degraded by the turbid medium in the atmosphere. In this paper, a novel single image-based dehazing framework is proposed to remove haze effects from image/video, where we propose two novel image priors, called the pixel-based dark channel prior and the pixel-based bright channel prior. Based on the two priors with the haze imaging model, we propose t...
متن کاملSingle Image Dehazing Algorithm Based on Dark Channel Prior and Inverse Image
The sky regions of foggy image processed by all the existing conventional dehazing methods are degraded by color distortion and severe noise. This paper proposes an improved algorithm which combines dark channel prior and inverse image. We first invert the foggy image, and then estimate the transmission of the inverse image. At last, compared with the non-inversed transmission, the larger value...
متن کاملFast single image haze removal via local atmospheric light veil estimation
In this study, a novel single-image based dehazing framework is proposed to remove haze artifacts from images through local atmospheric light estimation. We use a novel strategy based on a physical model where the extreme intensity of each RGB pixel is used to define an initial atmospheric veil (local atmospheric light veil). Across bilateral filter is applied to each veil to achieve both local...
متن کاملHaze and Cirrus Removal for Remote Sensing Image by Haze Thickness Map Estimation
Multispectral satellite images are often affected by haze and/or cirrus. A previous paper conferred a haze removal method that calculates a haze thickness based on a local search of dark objects. The haze-free signal is restored by subtracting the HTM from the affected image. The HTM method is substantially improved by employing the 1.38-μm cirrus band. The top-of-troposphere reflectance cirrus...
متن کاملA Fast Semi-inverse Approach to Detect and Remove the Haze from a Single Image
In this paper we introduce a novel approach to restore a single image degraded by atmospheric phenomena such as fog or haze. The presented algorithm allows for fast identification of hazy regions of an image, without making use of expensive optimization and refinement procedures. By applying a single per pixel operation on the original image, we produce a ’semi-inverse’ of the image. Based on t...
