Joint learning of image detail and transmission map for single image dehazing

Single image haze removal is an important task in computer vision. However, haze removal is an extremely challenging problem due to its massively ill-posed, which is that at each pixel we must estimate the transmission and the global atmospheric light from a single color measurement. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning-based method for removing haze from single input image. First, we estimate a transmission map via joint estimation of clear image detail and transmission map, which is different from traditional methods only estimating a transmission map for a hazy image. Second, we use a global regularization method to eliminate the halos and artifacts. Experimental results on synthetic dataset and real-world images show our method outperforms the other state-of-the-art methods.
