Real Time Haze Removal using Histogram Processing

Sandeep Garg, Maninder Kaur

Abstract: The haze removal algorithm using dark channel in existing base paper work has been observed to achieve great haze removal effect, but this process is too complex that attributes too much processing time and complexity in the algorithm. The complex algorithm makes its limited applications/uses in real time image processing task. Further, the up sampling and down sampling methods are of simple linear function of pixel intensity and does not preserve the edge contents of the scene. This deteriorates the algorithm performance in terms of entropy of the scene.
