Abstract:We developed an algorithm that allows for removing haze from a digital picture by numerically subtracting the contribution of optical scattering by aerosols. 12 The scene is modeled by defining a reflectance function for each pixel, which describes the angular dependence of light scattering at the surface, and by describing the scattering from aerosols with a set of models of varying complexity. An optimization algorithm that mixes downhill methods with evolutionary computing approaches was used to fit the obs… Show more
