Abstract

Images taken under hazy weather conditions suffer from problems such as blurring, low contrast, and low saturation due to the scattering of atmospheric light by aerosol particles in the air, which affects the performance and judgment of image analysis equipment. With the rapid development of image processing technology and computer vision technology, researchers have proposed a large number of targeted haze removal algorithms to improve the quality of images taken under hazy weather conditions. According to the haze removal principle, mainstream haze removal algorithms can be classified into three categories: image enhancement-based, physics model-based, and neural network-based. This paper introduces and explores classic haze removal algorithms from the perspectives of principles, development, advantages, and disadvantages, and outlines the prospects for the future development and application direction of haze removal algorithms.

Keywords: Haze removal algorithm, image enhancement, physics model, neural network
