Abstract:

In view of the problems of residual haze, local detail loss, contour blur in traditional image dehazing algorithm, a double-branch image dehazing algorithm with multi-layer feature enhancement is proposed. Considering the problem of detail loss caused by extracting global information, the two-branch structure is used to fuse the global feature and local feature to compensate for the lost local detail feature, so as to restore high quality fog free image. Global branch fuses multi-scale global information by expanding convolution with different expansion rates. Local branches extract the local texture and color of the image through continuous local detail enhancement blocks. Experimental results show that compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm significantly improves the PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) value on the composite image residing in the public haze image data set RESIDE. Experiments in real scenarios and ablation experiments have also proved the effectiveness of the proposed method.
