Haze is an atmospheric effect in which turbid media like fog, dust particles, smoke, haze, snow abs truces the captured image resulting in reduction in scene visibility, increase in color fading thus reducing the color contrast causing trouble in pattern analysis, image processing, computer vision applications etc. Haze not only attenuates the scene reflected light but also blends it with the atmospheric light. Thus the Image quality is degraded. Hence, haze removal from images is considered an important and widely challenging topic in computer vision and computer graphics areas. In this paper, various visibility restoration techniques for Image De-hazing are presented/compared to remove the degradation occurred in the digital image captured to be utilized for applications such as satellite system, aircrafts system, video surveillance.
