Recovering Depth from a Single Image Using Dark Channel Prior

It is well known that depth can be recovered from a single image using defogging method. Inspiriting by the idea of defogging using dark channel prior, we propose a new approach to recover depth. The input is a foggy image. We defog the image using an improved dark channel prior method. We adopt the dilating and eroding method to refine the block effect. Experimental results show that our method can recover an accuracy depth from a single image.
