Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a haze brightness measurer to measure haze brightness in an image containing haze, a transmission estimator to estimate a blockwise transmission for generating a least final cost function value that is calculated by using a contrast, an image loss and a time loss of the image and to estimate a pixelwise transmission based on the estimated blockwise transmission, and an image reconstructor to reconstruct the image by using the measured haze brightness and the estimated pixelwise transmission.
