• Abstract summary: Most existing methods train a dehazing model on synthetic hazy images, which are less able to generalize well to real hazy images due to domain shift. We propose a domain adaptation paradigm, which consists of an image translation module and two image dehazing modules. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world images demonstrate that our model performs favorably against the state-of-the-art dehazing algorithms.

• Abstract: Image dehazing using learning-based methods has achieved state-of-the-art performance in recent years. However, most existing methods train a dehazing model on synthetic hazy images, which are less able to generalize well to real hazy images due to domain shift. To address this issue, we propose a domain adaptation paradigm, which consists of an image translation module and two image dehazing modules. Specifically, we first apply a bidirectional translation network to bridge the gap between the synthetic and real domains by translating images from one domain to another. And then, we use images before and after translation to train the proposed two image dehazing networks with a consistency constraint. In this phase, we incorporate the real hazy image into the dehazing training via exploiting the properties of the clear image (e.g., dark channel prior and image gradient smoothing) to further improve the domain adaptivity. By training image translation and dehazing network in an end-to-end manner, we can obtain better effects of both image translation and dehazing. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world images demonstrate that our model performs favorably against the state-of-the-art dehazing algorithms.

We show that the framework outperforms state-of-the-art dehazing techniques in terms of subjective and objective evaluation.

An essential building block of single image depth estimation is an encoder-decoder task network that takes RGB images as input and produces depth maps as output. We propose a novel training strategy to force the task network to learn domain invariant representations in a self-supervised manner.

We propose an alternate approach that directly restricts the generator to performing a simple sparse transformation in a latent layer.
