Abstract
In outdoor scenes, atmospheric absortion and scattering attenuate the 
radiance received by the camera and may produce haze. In 2009 He et al. 
proposed a simple but effective dehazing algorithm based on a hypothesis 
called the 'dark channel prior' (DCP). Based on this prior several other 
dehazing methods have been published in recent years. In this paper we 
review the original algorithm by He et al, together with some posterior 
improvements proposed by the same and other authors. We also analyze the 
effect of the parameters on the results and we study a variant of the 
method proposed by Drews et al. for the analysis of haze in underwater 
images.
