REVIEW ON SINGLE IMAGE HAZE REMOVAL USING DARK CHANNEL PRIOR

This review paper presents a study about various image dehazing methods to remove the haze in the captured hazy images to recover a better and improved quality of haze free images. One of the critical problems in the field of image processing is the restoration of the images those are corrupted due to various degradations. Images of natural outdoor scenes is degraded due to bad weather conditions such as fog, haze etc. Due to the presence of these atmospheric particles there is a resultant decay in the colour and contrast of the captured image in the bad weather conditions. This may cause difficulty in detecting the objects in the captured hazy images or scenes. Now - a - days due to the re cent development of the computer vision area, it is possible to improve the outdoor hazy images and remove the haze from the images .
