ClarifyNet: A high-pass and low-pass filtering based CNN for single image dehazing
Journal of Systems Architecture(2022)
摘要
Dehazing refers to removing the haze and restoring the details from hazy images. In this paper, we propose ClarifyNet, a novel, end-to-end trainable, convolutional neural network architecture for single image dehazing. We note that a high-pass filter detects sharp edges, texture, and other fine details in the image, whereas a low-pass filter detects color and contrast information. Based on this observation, our key idea is to train ClarifyNet on ground-truth haze-free images, low-pass filtered images, and high-pass filtered images. Based on this observation, we present a shared-encoder multi-decoder model ClarifyNet which employs interconnected parallelization. While training, ground-truth haze-free images, low-pass filtered images, and high-pass filtered images undergo multi-stage filter fusion and attention. By utilizing a weighted loss function composed of SSIM loss and L1 loss, we extract and propagate complementary features. We comprehensively evaluate ClarifyNet on I-HAZE, O-HAZE, Dense-Haze, NH-HAZE, SOTS-Indoor, SOTS-Outdoor, HSTS, and Middlebury datasets. We use PSNR and SSIM metrics and compare the results with previous works. For most datasets, ClarifyNet provides the highest scores. On using EfficientNet-B6 as the backbone, ClarifyNet has 18 M parameters (model size of ∼71 MB) and a throughput of 8 frames-per-second while processing images of size 2048 × 1024.
