Review of Image Haze Removal Techniques at a Glance

Abstract

Haze in images creates problems to various computer vision and computer graphics applications. So, image haze removal has become very important step in computer vision, due to vast development and increasing demand of various applications. Mostly images are captured outdoor. Some times in bad weather conditions so images can contain haze as well as some noise. Noise and haze both degrade the quality of an image. Haze is formed due to the combination of attenuation and airlight. Attenuation reduces the image contrast and air light increases the whiteness in the image, Hence, making the images unclear. So the objective of this paper is to give a brief review of various image haze removal techniques.
