Sumario:The haze in remote sensing images can cause the decline of image quality and bring many obstacles to the applications of remote sensing images. Considering the non-uniform distribution of haze in remote sensing images, we propose a single remote sensing image dehazing method based on the encoder–decoder architecture, which combines both wavelet transform and deep learning technology. To address the clarity issue of remote sensing images with non-uniform haze, we preliminary process the input image by the dehazing method based on the atmospheric scattering model, and extract the first-order low-frequency sub-band information of its 2D stationary wavelet transform as an additional channel. Meanwhile, we establish a large-scale hazy remote sensing image dataset to train and test the proposed method. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method obtains greater advantages over typical traditional methods and deep learning methods qualitatively. For the quantitative aspects, we take the average of four typical deep learning methods with superior performance as a comparison object using 500 random test images, and the peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) value using the proposed method is improved by 3.5029 dB, and the structural similarity (SSIM) value is improved by 0.0295, respectively. Based on the above, the effectiveness of the proposed method for the problem of remote sensing non-uniform dehazing is verified comprehensively.
