Enhancing the robustness of underwater dehazing by jointly using polarization and the dark channel prior

images acquired using an underwater imaging system in both passive and active configurations. We demonstrate that our method enables the automatic identification of pixels associated with the veil, facilitating the estimation of its physical properties, and reduces potential ambiguities between the veil and regions of the scene of interest. Experimental results show that our approach achieves performance comparable to conventional techniques while offering improved robustness.
