Abstract

We propose a single image dehazing method that is based on a physical model and the dark channel prior principle. The selection of an atmospheric light value is directly responsible for the color authenticity and contrast of the resulting image. Our choice of atmospheric light is based on a variogram, which slowly weakens areas in the image that do not conform to the dark channel prior. Additionally, we propose a fast transmission estimation algorithm to shorten the processing time. Along with a subjective evaluation, the image quality was also evaluated using three indicators: MSE, PSNR, and average gradient. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain accurate dehazing results and improve the operational efficiency.
