This paper proposed a new method of underwater images restoration and enhancement which was inspired by the dark channel prior in image dehazing field. Firstly, we proposed the bright channel prior of underwater environment. By estimating and rectifying the bright channel image, estimating the atmospheric light, and estimating and refining the transmittance image, eventually underwater images were restored. Secondly, in order to rectify the color distortion, the restoration images were equalized by using the deduced histogram equalization. The experiment results showed that the proposed method could enhance the quality of underwater images effectively.

The climatic scattering and ingestion offer climb to the ordinary marvel of obscurity, which truly impacts the detectable quality of view. Dehazing is the technique used to expel the dimness. In late year, various works have been done to improve the detectable quality of picture taken under horrible climate. The images that are taken under overcast conditions experience the evil impacts of shading contortion and attenuation. The proposed strategy is in light of the Dark Channel Prior speculation and gray projection. The transmission map is resolved using the determined estimation of atmospheric light. It uses box filter to lessen the complexity and to improve the computing speed. This computation can restore image with incredible quality and the speed of image computation is high. The proposed strategy is differentiated with other image enhancement strategies and image restoration techniques. It is likewise exceptionally proficient technique since it can process huge images within less time.

Single Image Dehazing

Due to the haze weather, the outdoor image quality is degraded, which reduces the image contrast, thereby reducing the efficiency of computer vision systems such as target recognition. There are two aspects of the traditional algorithm based on the principle of dark channel to be improved. First, the restored images obviously contain color distortion in the sky region. Second, the white regions in the scene easily affect the atmospheric light estimated. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a single-image dehazing and image segmentation method via dark channel prior (DCP) and adaptive threshold. The sky region of hazing image is relatively bright, so sky region does not meet the DCP. The sky part is separated by the adaptive threshold, then the scenery and the sky area are dehazed, respectively. In order to avoid the interference caused by white objects to the estimation of atmospheric light, we estimate the value of atmospheric light using the separated area of the sky. The algorithm in this paper makes up for the shortcoming that the algorithm based on the DCP cannot effectively process the hazing image with sky region, avoiding the effect of white objects on estimating atmospheric light. Experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the improved algorithm.

Due to existence of haze, the image quality is degraded in the environment. Removal of haze is called dehazing. To dehaze an image Dark Channel Prior is recommended. Dark Channel Prior is an observation, that an image has few pixels whose intensity value is very small or near to zero in most non-sky patches. Such pixels are referred to as dark pixels. Dehazing through Dark Channel Prior is accomplished using four major steps. The steps include estimating atmospheric light, estimating transmission map, refinement of transmission map and image reconstruction. Incorrect estimation of transmission map may lead to some problems. These problems include false textures and blocking artifacts. Many methods are developed to further sharpen transmission map. Here transmission map is refined using soft matting, guided filter and bilateral filter. The comparison of dehazing methods has become difficult due to scarce availability of ground truth images .So we used I-HAZE, a new data set containing 35 picture pairs of hazy pictures and their respective ground truth pictures. A significant benefit of I-HAZE data set is that it allows us to compare different refinement methods used for dehazing with SSIM, PSNR and RMSE which are used for the measurement of finally obtained reconstructed image quality after the removal of haze.

Because of the atmospheric scattering phenomenon, weather atmospheric degraded images captured in foggy environment have poor contrast and visibility, it has seriously affected the quality of the images. So this paper analysis and find something different between the dark channel prior and the interpolating self-adaptive histogram equalization method based on physical and non-physical model. And using the histogram similarity evaluation is evaluated on them. Finally, further discussion are indicated on techniques challenges and future development.

Mostly in winter season, the Northern area of India is mostly affected due to heavy haze. The road traffic and air traffic is affected due to poor visibility. According to the survey of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of India, the number of accident due to poor visibility increasing every year. Hence there is need of robust algorithm to enhance the visibility of the camera feed. In the proposed approach, image dehazing algorithm has been present using dark channel prior. The proposed algorithm is developed for outdoor images. The proposed system processed the image through dark channel prior, estimation of atmospheric light, estimation of transmission and scene radiance. The proposed system achieved the promising results on O-Haze dataset.

Aiming at the color distortion of the restored image in the sky region, we propose an image dehazing algorithm based on double priors constraint. Firstly, we divided the haze image into sky and non-sky regions. Then the Color-lines prior and dark channel prior are used for estimating the transmission of sky and non-sky regions respectively. After introducing color-lines prior to correct sky regions restored by the dark channel prior, we get an accurate transmission. Finally, the local media mean value and standard deviation are used to refine the transmission to obtain the dehazing image. Experimental results show that the algorithm has obvious advantages in the recovery of the sky area.

The enhancement of images is an image processing method that highlights certain image information according to specific needs and, at the same time, weakens or removes unwanted information. In the field of computer and machine vision, haziness and fog lead to degradation of images using different degradation mechanisms, including contrast attenuation, blurring, and degradation of the pixels. This limits machine vision systems efficiency such as video monitoring, target tracking, and recognition. Different dark channel single image dehazing algorithms have been designed quickly and efficiently to address image hazing problems. These algorithms rely on the dark channel theory to estimate the atmospheric light which is a crucial dehazing parameter. In this paper, a review of image dehazing and enhancement has been presented.
