Abstract

In this paper, we propose a segmentation based method to estimate the haze-free image by the optical model. In this work, we estimate the atmospheric light by color barycenter hexagon (CBH) model and use the watershed to segment the image to calculate transmission map by dark pixels with single image. Firstly, non-color region is segmented by CBH model and calculate the atmospheric light. Then, use the watershed with rang component of CBH model to segment the color image into several sub-regions, and estimate the transmission map. Finally, use the optical model with the parameters to restore the haze-free image. The experimental results show that our method is more effective and able to get better results than other compared single image based methods.
