The enhancement of images is an image processing method that highlights certain image information according to specific needs and, at the same time, weakens or removes unwanted information. In the field of computer and machine vision, haziness and fog lead to degradation of images using different degradation mechanisms, including contrast attenuation, blurring, and degradation of the pixels. This limits machine vision systems efficiency such as video monitoring, target tracking, and recognition. Different dark channel single image dehazing algorithms have been designed quickly and efficiently to address image hazing problems. These algorithms rely on the dark channel theory to estimate the atmospheric light which is a crucial dehazing parameter. In this paper, a review of image dehazing and enhancement has been presented.
