Effective image haze removal using dark channel prior and post-processing

Removing haze technique is an important and necessary procedure to avoid ill-condition visibility of human eyes. To improve the dehazing quality, a new haze-removing method is proposed in this paper. Specifically, this method can be properly applied to various dense and distribution haze images without sacrificing color naturalness by using refined Dark Channel Prior(DCP) and adding post processing. Experimental results demonstrate that the new method provides higher dehazing quality and color naturalness than other existing techniques.
