The quality of digital images is easily affected by imaging conditions. Haze is one of adversarial conditions to degrade the image quality, such as contrast, visibility and color saturation. Many approaches have been proposed to deal with the hazy condition. However, most of them suffer from high computational complexity. In this thesis, several adaptive fast image dehazing algorithms based on the dark channel prior are presented. In the proposed dehazing algorithms, dark channel map is found through 1×1 minimum filter and then used to estimate the atmospheric light and transmission map. By this doing, the computation complexity is reduced and over-exposure problem generally happened in the dark channel based algorithms is avoided. Simulation results of several examples indicate that the proposed dehazing algorithms are generally able to obtain satisfactory dehazed images and are more efficient than the compared dehazing algorithms.
