Eliminating haze interference in images is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we consider more systematically the physical hazing mechanisms, combined with deep learning, propose a new end-to-end dehazing network called DHD-Net. For physical hazing mechanisms, we fuse the global atmosphere light, transmission maps, and the atmospheric scattering model for dehazing. For the estimation of global atmosphere light, We propose a deep learning-based haze density estimation algorithm (DL-HDE). We establish a new dataset, of which each data item consists of the hazy image, the transmission map, the haze-free image, and the dense-haze area mask. Our experimental results demonstrate that our proposed DHD-Net has better dehazing performance than state-of-the-art algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
