The visibility of images of outdoor road scenes will generally become degraded when captured during inclement weather conditions. Drivers often turn on the headlights of their vehicles and streetlights are often activated, resulting in localized light sources in images capturing road scenes in these conditions. Additionally, sandstorms are also weather events that are commonly encountered when driving in some regions. In sandstorms, atmospheric sand has a propensity to irregularly absorb specific portions of a spectrum, thereby causing color-shift problems in the captured image. Traditional state-of-the-art restoration techniques are unable to effectively cope with these hazy road images that feature localized light sources or color-shift problems. In response, we present a novel and effective haze removal approach to remedy problems caused by localized light sources and color shifts, which thereby achieves superior restoration results for single hazy images. The performance of the proposed method has been proven through quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed haze removal technique can more effectively recover scene radiance while demanding fewer computational costs than traditional state-of-the-art haze removal techniques.
