Performance of Haze Removal Filter for Hazy and Noisy Images

Abstracts- Haze and noise performance detection (HNPD) filter is proposed for impulse noise and haze removal in images. In this approach, the noisy pixels are detected in single phase, based on a set of irreplaceable connection criteria. Simulation results show that the HNPD filter outperforms others at medium to high noise rates and suppresses impulse noise and haze effectively while preserving image details, even thin edges.
