Abstract

Haze is a major problem in videos captured in outdoors. Unlike single-image dehazing, video-based approaches can take advantage of the abundant information that exists across neighboring frames. In this work, assuming that a scene point yields highly correlated transmission values between adjacent video frames, we develop a deep learning solution for video dehazing, where a CNN is trained end-to-end to learn how to accumulate information across frames for transmission estimation. The estimated transmission map is subsequently used to recover a haze-free frame via atmospheric scattering model. To train this network, we generate a dataset consisted of synthetic hazy and haze-free videos for supervision based on the NYU depth dataset. We show that the features learned from this dataset are capable of removing haze that arises in outdoor scene in a wide range of videos. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods on both synthetic and real-world videos.
