Abstract

This study assesses the outcomes of the NTIRE 2023 Challenge on Non-Homogeneous Dehazing, wherein novel techniques were proposed and evaluated on new image dataset called HD-NH-HAZE. The HD-NH-HAZE dataset contains 50 high resolution pairs of real-life outdoor images featuring nonhomogeneous hazy images and corresponding haze-free images of the same scene. The nonhomogeneous haze was simulated using a professional setup that replicated real-world conditions of hazy scenarios. The competition had 246 participants and 17 teams submitted solutions for the final testing phase. The proposed solutions demonstrated the cutting-edge in image dehazing technology.
