Description
Summary:In recent years, the hazy weather in China occurs frequently, and image dehazing has gradually become a research hotspot. To improve the dehazing effect of the hazy images, this paper has proposed a multilevel image dehazing algorithm using conditional generative adversarial networks (CGAN). The hazy image is used to generate the composed image K jointly estimated by a transmission map and atmospheric light value through a generator network, and a dehazed image is calculated through an improved atmospheric scattering model. The generator network and the joint discriminator network are subjected to adversarial training and reconstruction constraints. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieved good dehazing effect in synthetic hazy images and real hazy images, and is ahead of other advanced dehazing methods in subjective evaluation and objective evaluation.
