Improved Techniques for Learning to Dehaze and Beyond: A Collective Study
Introduction
This is the official codebase for our paper "Improved Techniques for Learning to Dehaze and Beyond: A Collective Study".
The paper reviews the collective endeavors by the team of authors in exploring two interlinked important tasks, based on the recently released REalistic Single Image DEhazing (RESIDE) benchmark: i) single image dehazing as a low-level image restoration problem; ii) high-level visual understanding (e.g., object detection) from hazy images. For the first task, the authors investigated on a variety of loss functions, and found perception-driven loss to improve dehazing performance very notably. For the second task, the authors came up with multiple solutions including using more advanced modules in the dehazing-detection cascade, as well as domain-adaptive object detectors. In both tasks, our proposed solutions are verified to significantly advance the state-of-the-art performance.
