In the haze and other weather conditions, the scattering of atmospheric particles leads to a serious degradation of the captured images. In this paper, we present a new fast defogging method based on physical model. The algorithm is based on the atmospheric scattering model to simplify the atmospheric scattering model by using the white balance. A fast bilateral filtering method is used to estimate the atmospheric veil, and then recover the visibility. The time complexity of the algorithm is linear function of the number of image pixels, which has a very fast execution speed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively restore the contrast and color of the scene, so that the image can be improved significantly.
