• Abstract summary: We propose a cycle generative adversarial network to construct a novel end-to-end image dehaze model. We adopt outdoor image datasets to train our model, which includes a set of real-world unpaired image dataset and a set of paired image dataset. Based on the cycle structure, our model adds four different kinds of loss function to constrain the effect including adversarial loss, cycle consistency loss, photorealism loss and paired L1 loss.

• Abstract: The issue of image haze removal has attracted wide attention in recent years. However, most existing haze removal methods cannot restore the scene with clear blue sky, since the color and texture information of the object in the original haze image is insufficient. To remedy this, we propose a cycle generative adversarial network to construct a novel end-to-end image dehaze model. We adopt outdoor image datasets to train our model, which includes a set of real-world unpaired image dataset and a set of paired image dataset to ensure that the generated images are close to the real scene. Based on the cycle structure, our model adds four different kinds of loss function to constrain the effect including adversarial loss, cycle consistency loss, photorealism loss and paired L1 loss. These four constraints can improve the overall quality of such degraded images for better visual appeal and ensure reconstruction of images to keep from distortion. The proposed model could remove the haze of images and also restore the sky of images to be clean and blue (like captured in a sunny weather).

  We propose a new method for image restoration in adverse weather conditions. We use a mixed degradation model based on atmosphere scattering model to guide the whole restoration process. Experiments on both multi-weather and weather-specific datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art competing methods.

  We propose to utilize exposure bracketing photography to unify image restoration and enhancement tasks.

In particular, a temporally modulated recurrent network (TMRNet) and self-supervised adaptation method are proposed.

We validate our method by capturing multi-view In-the-Wild data and controlled captures in a large-scale fog chamber.
