Requires installation of OpenCV 3+. We can recommend this guide for installing OpenCV 3+ for Python on Ubuntu.
Other libraries required (NumPy, Matplotlib) are listed in requirements.txt. Install by running:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The pipeline for dehazing using photorealistic fusion can be found in pipeline.ipynb. Note that you need to run run_wls.py beforehand, creating the multiresolution decomposition of the image. Since this is a costly operation, it has to be done only once per image, all detail and average images are stored for later use.
The dataset used in this publication can be found here:
- https://ivrl.epfl.ch/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ImagesNIR.zip (12 NIR images)
- https://ivrl.epfl.ch/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ImagesVIS1.zip (first 6 color images)
- https://ivrl.epfl.ch/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ImagesVIS2.zip (second 6 color images)
