Abstract The 1999 Regional Haze Rule provides a context for this review of visibility, the
science that describes it, and the use of that science in regulatory guidance. The scientific …

We present an approach for easily removing the effects of haze from passively acquired
images. Our approach is based on the fact that usually the natural illuminating light scattered …

Underwater imaging is important for scientific research and technology as well as for
popular activities, yet it is plagued by poor visibility conditions. In this paper, we present a …

Underwater imaging is important for scientific research and technology, as well as for
popular activities. We present a computer vision approach which easily removes …

In this paper we introduce a novel approach to restore a single image degraded by
atmospheric phenomena such as fog or haze. The presented algorithm allows for fast …

How the human visual system determines the lightness of a surface, that is, its whiteness,
blackness, or grayness, remains--like vision in general--a mystery. In fact, we have not even …

The analysis of polarized filtered images has been proven useful in image dehazing.
However, the current polarization-based dehazing algorithms are based on the assumption …

Images/videos captured from optical devices are usually degraded by turbid media such as
haze, smoke, fog, rain and snow. Haze is the most common problem in outdoor scenes …

Outdoor imaging in haze is plagued by poor visibility. A major problem is spatially-varying
reduction of contrast by airlight, which is scattered by the haze particles towards the camera …

When imaging in scattering media there is a need to enhance visibility. Some approaches
have used polarized images in this context with apparent success. These methods take …
