Single image haze removal with approximate radiance darkness prior

In this paper, we propose a novel and effective method for removing haze based on a single image, which firstly computes the dark channel of the estimated radiance image by decomposing the dark channel of the haze input image, and the method then estimates the transmission map of the input image. Finally, the scene radiance image is restored by the classical atmospheric scattering model. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms He et al.'s method in terms of haze removal.
