Abstract

We present a comprehensive study and evaluation of existing single image dehazing algorithms, using a new large-scale benchmark consisting of both synthetic and real-world hazy images, called REalistic Single Image DEhazing (RESIDE). RESIDE highlights diverse data sources and image contents, and is divided into five subsets, each serving different training or evaluation purposes. We further provide a rich variety of criteria for dehazing algorithm evaluation, ranging from full-reference metrics, to no-reference metrics, to subjective evaluation and the novel task-driven evaluation. Experiments on RESIDE sheds light on the comparisons and limitations of state-of-the-art dehazing algorithms, and suggest promising future directions.

How to Use RTTS

RTTS is in the same format as VOC 2007, organized as follows:

-- HazeDetection

-- Annotations

-- *** .xml

-- ImageSets

-- Main

-- test.txt

-- JPEGImages

-- *** .png

Here is a demo script to visualize the annotations: visualize.py, which shows how to get access to the annotated bounding boxes.
