Adaptive Image Dehazing Algorithm Based on Mean Unequal Relation Optimization

In view of shortcomings of dark channel prior dehazing methods, such as transmission in sky areas is small and halo effects are prone to occur in the edges, this paper proposes a novel and efficient dehazing algorithm. Firstly, the fan-shaped model with dark channel map of haze-free image is established by geometric analysis. Then a new Gaussian mean function is set to estimate the boundary values of the model and its standard deviation is adaptive processing. Mean-value unequal relationship is also introduced to approximate the two-sided boundary, which is used to fit the most excellent dark channel map of haze-free, further obtains the best transmission. At the same time the local atmospheric light is improved to recover the final result. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be widely applied to all kinds of images compared with other classical algorithms. The degree of dehazing is thorough, final result is clear and natural. More importantly, it is favorable for real-time processing that has low time complexity.
