Hardware Implementation of Image Dehazing Mechanism using Verilog HDL and Parallel DCP

Abstract

In image processing technology, one of the prime applications is the dehazing process. And it is still a challenge in implementing the corresponding algorithm in hardware. In this paper we propose an atmospheric light estimation method without any complex logic. This makes easy implementation on hardware level. We have also used the Independent Transmission Rate Estimation (ITRE) for calculation of transmission coefficient parallel to the calculation of the atmospheric light. This procedure enhances the time complexity and the quality of the dehazed image. Compared to other logic studies this logic shows a competitive response.
