Haze Removal System Using Image Processing

Bad weather conditions such as haziness mist foggy and smoky degradation in the quality of the outdoor scene. It is an annoying problem to photographers as it changes the colors and reduces the contrast of daily photos it diminishes the visibility of the scenes and it is a threat to the reliability of many applications like outdoor surveillance object detection it also decreases the clarity of the satellite images and underwater images. So removing haze from images is an imperative and broadly demanded area in image processing. The large quantities of these suspended particles in atmosphere cause scattering of light before it reaches the camera which corrupts the outdoor image quality. Haze attenuates the reflected light from the scenes and blends it with additive light in atmosphere. Haze removal techniques tend to improve this reflected light (i.e. scene colors) from mixed light. The constancy and strength of the visual system can also be improved by using this effective haze removal of image. There are many methods available to remove haze from image like polarization independent component analysis dark channel prior etc.
