Abstract: Because the dark channel prior defogging algorithm will cause color distortion and offset in bright areas such as the sky,a novel algorithm of single image dehazing based on dark channel prior is proposed to improve the image defogging effect.Firstly,according to the size of the image,an adaptive filtering window is designed.Next,in order to prevent the influence of the highlight pixels in the image on the estimation of the atmospheric light value,the variogram is used to remove the highlight pi-xels,and the atmospheric light value is estimated by combining the dark channel map of the image after removing the highlight pi-xel.Then,an improved dark channel prior defogging algorithm combined with structural similarity is proposed,and the transmittance is optimized and corrected.And then,the atmospheric scattering model is used to recover the fog-free image.Finally,the mutual conversion of the RGB model and the HIS model are used to enhance the brightness of the restored image.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can not only better dehaze the scene in the picture,but also better deal with bright areas such as the sky,so that the processed image has a good visual effect.

Key words: Bright area, Dark channel prior, Guided filter, Image dehazing, Structural similarity
