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 Fusion Systems Research can
remove haze from images. The user selects the amount of haze to be removed from an image interactively 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. A second example of this software is given in Fig. 2.
