Single image haze removal to deal with cross-color

Abstract

Single image haze removal (or de-haze) using dark channel prior model is effective when there exists a dark channel within the image. So for the images which do not meet the dark channel prior, the haze removal result may appear light pollution, cross-color. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to judge whether a single image meets the dark channel prior, and for the image that fails to meet the prior, it eliminates the cross-color influence in the image after de-hazing. Experimental results show that ours can determine whether the image meets dark channel prior, and has the better de-haze effect.
