Image Dehazing and Visibility Restoration Method

Sumati

Signifying the necessity of areas concerning obstacle detection, object detection, traffic analysis, etc. in present day situation, the requirement for efficient and robust haze detection, estimation and haze removal has only risen. In this work, proposed a method to estimate, detect and remove the content of haze in an image. In order to achieve the above goal, implemented a laplacian based distribution curve to estimate the transmission map. After determining the haze thickness and removal of the haze content, a gamma correction method is applied to improve the quality of the image post haze removal process. The obtained results show the successful implementation of the haze estimation, removal and improvement in the quality of the image.
