Dark Channel Prior Observation on haze-free outdoor images: In most of the non-sky patches, at least one color channel has very low intensity at some pixels
Mainly due to three factors • Shadows • Colorful of objects or surfaces • Dark objects
haze-free image The dark channel of haze-free image
Statistics of the dark channels • Except for the sky region, the intensity of is low and tends to be zero
haze image The dark channel of haze image • Visually, the intensity of the dark channel is rough approximation of the thickness of the haze
