Article Abstract
Image dehazing is desired under the foggy, rainy weather, or the underwater condition. Since the polarization-based image dehazing utilizes additional polarization information of light to de-scatter, image detail can be recovered well, but how to segment the polarization information of the background radiance and the object radiance becomes the key problem. For solving this problem, a method which combing polarization and contrast enhancement is demonstrated. This method contains two main steps, (a) by seeking the region of large mean intensity, low contrast and large mean degree of polarization, the no-object region can be found, and (b) through defining a weight function and judging whether the dehazed image can achieve high contrast and low information loss, the degree of polarization for object radiance can be estimated. Based on the estimated parameters, the scatter of light by the mediums can be diminished considerably. The theoretical derivation shows that this method can achieve advantages complementation, such as being able to obtain more details like the polarization-based method and high image contrast like the contrast enhancement based method. Besides, it is physically sound and can achieve good dehazing performance under different conditions, which has been verified by different hazing polarization images.

Single remote sensing image dehazing aims to eliminate atmospheric scattering effects without auxiliary information. It serves as a crucial preprocessing step for enhancing the performance of downstream tasks in remote sensing images. Conventional approaches often struggle to balance haze removal and detail restoration under non-uniform haze distributions.

In complex traffic environments, image degradation due to adverse factors such as haze, low illumination, and occlusion significantly compromises the performance of object detection systems in recognizing vehicles and pedestrians. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a robust visual detection framework that integrates multi-stage image enhancement with a lightweight detection architecture. Specifically, an image preprocessing module incorporating ConvIR and CIDNet is designed to perform defogging and illumination enhancement, thereby substantially improving the perceptual quality of degraded inputs.

Underwater image enhancement poses unique challenges due to poor visibility, color distortion, and haze caused by light absorption and scattering in water. In this paper, we propose an ensemble model, Ensemble Pyramid-based Convolutional Neural Network and Deep Channel Prior Dehazing Network (EPCNN-DCPDN), which combines Pyramid-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the Deep Channel Prior Dehazing Network (DCPDN) to address these challenges. The model operates in two ways: sequentially, by first applying DCPDN for haze removal followed by Pyramid-based CNNs for multi-scale feature refinement, or in parallel, with outputs from both models fused using a weighted average or learned fusion mechanism.

The difficulty and manual nature of procuring human evaluators for ranking the quality of images affected by various types of degradations, and of those cleaned up by developed algorithms, has lead to the widespread adoption of automated metrics, like the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and the Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM). However, disparities between rankings given by these metrics and those given by human evaluators have encouraged the development of improved image quality assessment (IQA) metrics that are a better fit for this purpose. These methods have been previously used solely for quality assessments and not as objectives in the training of neural networks for high-level vision tasks, despite the potential improvements that may come about by directly optimizing for desired metrics.

Imaging through scattering is challenging, as even a thin layer can randomly perturb light propagation and obscure hidden objects. Accurate closed-form modeling of forward scattering remains difficult, particularly for dynamically varying or thick layers. Here, we introduce a plug-and-play inverse solver based on video diffusion models with a physically grounded forward model tailored to dynamic scattering layers.
