Real-Time Image and Video Dehazing Based on Multiscale Guided Filtering - Unofficial OpenCV-Python Implementation

Codebase for the reimplemented of the focus paper.

*Impotant Note*

This code is not working properly right now. I decided to publish this for a starting point for those who want to implement MGF-Dehazing in Python.

I can not make time for personal projects right now. Anybody who wants to contribute feel free :)

Reimplementers:

Serkan Şatak | Istanbul Technical University (ITU)

Resources

• Original Paper (Springer Open-Access)
• Official MATLAB Source (GitHub)

Python requirements

This code was tested on below requirements but it is possible that it works in older versions.

• Python 3.9
• OpenCV 4.7
• Numpy 1.20

Installation

1. Create an Anaconda/venv environment (Optional)
2. pip install -r requirements.txt

TO-DO

1. Finding exact equivalents of MATLAB functions
2. OpenCV-GPU for faster processing
3. Reimplementation with Kornia for larger images.
