The present invention relates to systems and methods of hierarchical image representation and removal of haze for images, graphics, photographic images, videos, and real-time video. The invented systems/methods may include the configurations and/or steps of: (1) Applying a color space transformation; (2) Computing channels corresponding to the color and content; (3) Decomposing the content channels based on the statistical distribution; (4) Computing image enhancement on decomposed channels; (5) Performing image enhancement algorithms on color channels; (6) Adjusting color parameters; (7) Computing the inverse color transformation to take the image back to the original color space. In embodiments, a method is provided that includes generating a hierarchical representation and segmentation of the image. The disclosed invention has numerous applications including but not limited to digital images, image processing (recognition, de -noising, segmentations, image enhancement), and image system applications (transportation system, medical, thermal, security system, aerospace). |
