Abstract

Image and video dehazing is a popular topic in the field of computer vision and digital image processing. A fast, optimized dehazing algorithm was recently proposed that enhances contrast and reduces flickering artifacts in a dehazed video sequence by minimizing a cost function that makes transmission values spatially and temporally coherent. However, its fixed-size block partitioning leads to block effects. Further, the weak edges in a hazy image are not addressed. Hence, a video dehazing algorithm based on customized spectral clustering is proposed. To avoid block artifacts, the spectral clustering is customized to segment static scenes to ensure the same target has the same transmission value. Assuming that dehazed edge images have richer detail than before restoration, an edge cost function is added to the ransmission model. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides higher dehazing quality and lower time complexity than the previous technique.
