Aerial and satellite images often contain haze. The presence of haze reduces image contrast and makes visual
examination of images difficult. As a preprocessing operation to image registration and image fusion, there is a need to
remove haze from images and increase image contrast. A software developed by Image Registration and Fusion
Systems can remove haze from images. Haze can be removed automatically or interactively. Interactive haze removal is
achieved with the motion of the mouse. An example of haze removal by this software is given in Fig. 1. Fig. 1a is the
original hazy image and Fig. 1b is the image after haze removal. Details previously not visible in the hazy image are now
visible in the enhanced image. Additional examples of haze removal by this software are given in Figs. 2 - 4.
