In outdoor scenes, haze limits the visibility of images, and degrades people’s judgement of the objects. In this paper, based on an assumption of human visual perception in frequency domain, a novel image haze removal filtering is proposed. Combining this assumption with the theory of frequency domain filtering, we first estimate the cut-off frequency to divide the frequency domain of the hazy image into three components — low-frequency domain, intermediate-frequency domain and high-frequency domain. Then, by introducing the weighting factors, the three components are recombined together. After the theoretical deduction of frequency domain, the establishment of the actual model and adjusting the cut-off frequency and weighting factors, we finally acquire a global and adaptive filtering. This filtering can restore the details and the contours of the images, which have less noise, and improve the visibility of the objects in hazy images. Moreover, our method is simple in structure and strongly applicable, and rarely affected by parameters. Our algorithm is stable and performs well in heavy fog and the scene changes.

Speckle reduction is a longstanding topic in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Many different schemes have been proposed for the restoration of intensity SAR images. Among the different possible approaches, methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently shown to reach state-of-the-art performance for SAR image restoration. CNN training requires good training data: many pairs of speckle-free/speckle-corrupted images. This is an issue in SAR applications, given the inherent scarcity of speckle-free images. To handle this problem, this paper analyzes different strategies one can adopt, depending on the speckle removal task one wishes to perform and the availability of multitemporal stacks of SAR data. The first strategy applies a CNN model, trained to remove additive white Gaussian noise from natural images, to a recently proposed SAR speckle removal framework: MuLoG (MUlti-channel LOgarithm with Gaussian denoising). No training on SAR images is performed, the network is readily applied to speckle reduction tasks. The second strategy considers a novel approach to construct a reliable dataset of speckle-free SAR images necessary to train a CNN model. Finally, a hybrid approach is also analyzed: the CNN used to remove additive white Gaussian noise is trained on speckle-free SAR images. The proposed methods are compared to other state-of-the-art speckle removal filters, to evaluate the quality of denoising and to discuss the pros and cons of the different strategies. Along with the paper, we make available the weights of the trained network to allow its usage by other researchers.
