IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR IMAGE HAZE REMOVAL AND METHOD USING THAT

摘要

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus for the removal of haze included in a still image and a method for the same, and comprises: a haze brightness measuring unit for dividing an image, including haze, into a first predetermined number of blocks and measuring haze brightness based on the representative value of each block; a transfer rate estimating unit for estimating a transfer rate per block based on the final cost function value caused by image loss and contrast ratio in the image, and estimating a transfer rate per pixel using the transfer rate per block; and an image restoring unit for restoring the image using the transfer rate per pixel and the haze brightness.
