Abstract
The apparatus for removing haze from an image using a fuzzy membership function includes memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the processor calculates a hazy value and a transmission map using an input image including a hazy component and generates a restored image from which the hazy component has been removed using the hazy value and the transmission map, and wherein the processor selects a first area in the input image, calculates a fuzzy membership function of pixels of the input image with respect to the hazy value using brightness values of the pixels of the input image and brightness values of pixels of the first area, and calculates the transmission map using the brightness values of pixels of the first area and the fuzzy membership function.
