摘要

Getting rid of haze was not easy due to color distortion, undesired detail, and the difficulty of working under really foggy conditions. Introduced a novel end-to-end image dehazing framework, which unites multiscale feature enhancement and reinforcement learning into a complete solution. We developed an original bilateral filter multiscale image decomposition to represent a haze-free image while preserving, and exploiting, rich detail information. Image enhancement is an iterative process. The unique feature extraction module with modified smoothing enforces the dynamics of image enhancement that extracts fine details. Channel-spatial attention mechanisms used in the feature fusion module adaptively fuse feature maps proving to be a major step across dynamic scales within the dynamic image enhancement process. To avoid potential extraneous information-induced artifacts, the Vision Transformer fosters haze density assessment with pertinent context references. Last, the SARSA reinforcement training algorithm instructs in performing the optimization iteratively for image enhancement. Experiments carried out on foggy images give evidence that this approach is superior to the existing methods in rendering image details and natural colors while effectively removing haze. The proposed system can deliver significant results in terms of visual quality and be more robust under varying low light and haze conditions.
