Single image mixed dehazing method based on numerical iterative model and DehazeNet.

As one of the most common adverse weather phenomena, haze has caused detrimental effects on many computer vision systems. To eliminate the effect of haze, in the field of image processing, image dehazing has been studied intensively, and many advanced dehazing algorithms have been proposed. Physical...
