Haze Detection and Removal in Remote Sensing Images Based on Undecimated Wavelet Transform

A new approach for detecting and removing haze from panchromatic high-resolution remote sensing images based on undecimated wavelet transform is proposed.It involves detecting the haze areas and estimating its thickness from the scene by analyzing the low frequency information content,and rectifies the high frequency content by different amplitude according to different haze optical thickness.In our experiments,both visual inspection and statistical data show that the approach is valid.
