Abstract:

Aiming at the drawbacks of traditional dark channel prior,which was prone to distortion and Halo effects in the bright areas,a haze image restoration algorithm based on compensated transmission and adaptive haze concentration coefficient was proposed.First of all,a Gaussian function was used to fit the attenuation relationship between the haze and haze-free image,and the compensation transmission was set to correct the initial transmission.Then the characteristics of haze was analyzed,the concept of brightness entropy was introduced and the bright channel operation was performed to acquire entropy value with pixel by pixel.Combined with the Gaussian pyramid to extract texture features,the haze distribution map was obtained.An adaptive transformation was established to seek the haze concentration coefficient and get the accurate transmission.Finally,the recovery results were restored by improved atmospheric light value and atmospheric scattering model.Experimental results show that the recovered image has better color and detail,the degree of dehazing is thorough,the brightness is appropriate,and the effect is clear and natural.

Key words: image restoration, dehazing, dark channel prior, transmission, atmospheric scattering model
