Abstract

With the rapid development of machine learning, deep learning-based image defogging algorithms are receiving more and more attention from scholars compared to traditional image defogging method. A novel method for synthesizing high-quality haze images in fixed surveillance scenes is proposed, based on a dark channel-based approach for image fusion. The method also contributes a synthetic haze image dataset, which accurately corresponds to real-world scenarios, for use in deep learning network training and evaluation of defogging effects. To address the issue of chromatic aberration in the sky and local areas when using a deblurring network for defogging, the SKNet module in the Attention mechanism is integrated into DeblurGAN. The defogging network is trained using the synthetic haze image dataset, and is tested on various sets of synthetic and actual haze images, yielding improved results in metrics such as SSIM, PSNR, and MSE.
