Fractional Multiscale Fusion-based De-hazing
This addresses image quality improvement for applications like photography or vision systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing fusion techniques.
The paper tackled single image de-hazing and underwater image enhancement by proposing a multi-scale fusion algorithm, achieving faster operation than existing methods with mostly consistent and good results.
This report presents the results of a proposed multi-scale fusion-based single image de-hazing algorithm, which can also be used for underwater image enhancement. Furthermore, the algorithm was designed for very fast operation and minimal run-time. The proposed scheme is the faster than existing algorithms for both de-hazing and underwater image enhancement and amenable to digital hardware implementation. Results indicate mostly consistent and good results for both categories of images when compared with other algorithms from the literature.
