Simple defogging method for outdoor images based on physical model

Abstract

Images of scenes acquired in bad weather have poor contrasts and colors. In this paper, we exploit the idea of interactive method and recover the images based on physical model. First, a simple method is proposed to estimate the scene depths. Second, the parameters in the depths model can be obtained automatically from a single image. Experiments show that our method can remove the haze effectively. Especially, it is easy to serve for the practice.
