Abstract: Single image dehazing is a challenging problem, and it is far from solved. Most current solutions require paired image datasets that include both hazy images and their corresponding haze-free ground-truth. However, in reality lighting conditions and other factors can produce a range of haze-free images that can serve as ground truth for a hazy image, and a single ground truth image cannot capture that range. This limits the scalability and practicality of paired methods in real-world applications. In this paper, we focus on unpaired single image dehazing and reduce the image dehazing problem to an unpaired image-to-image translation and propose an Enhanced CycleGAN Dehazing Network (ECDN). We enhance CycleGAN from different angles for the dehazing purpose. We employ a global-local discriminator structure to deal with spatially varying haze. We define self-regularized color loss and utilize it along with perceptual loss to generate more realistic and visually pleasing images. We use a n encoder-decoder architecture with residual blocks in the generator with skip connections so that the network better preserves the details. Through an ablation study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of different modules in the performance of the proposed network. Our extensive experiments over two benchmark datasets show that our network outperforms previous work in terms of PSNR and SSIM. (More)
