Abstract
Single image dehazing based on deep learning techniques has made significant progress. Most existing approaches retrieve haze-free images by estimating the transmission map and global atmospheric light, which are difficult to compute. In this paper, an encoder–decoder-based deep network ReEDNet is designed for single image dehazing. Further, a Cross Feature Aggregation (CrFeAt) block is introduced that utilizes skip connections to preserve the spatial feature to the last layer. ReEDNet is a light network that can be deployed in a resource-constrained environment. A quantitative analysis of the proposed network is performed on the RESIDE dataset. Extensive experiments show that the proposed ReEDNet achieves better performance compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
