Dual domain method for single image dehazing and enhancing

In this paper, we propose a novel method for improving the visibility of an image (with fog or haze), as well as the image’s details. The proposed method adjusts the global contrast in the spatial domain for dehazing fog or haze spread over images and then enhances the local contrast in the transform domain for reviving the details of images. Compared to the previous methods performing in the spatial domain only, the proposed method improves the visibility and quality of images significantly.
