Our team, ITB Dehaze, ranked 4th in the NTIRE 2024 Dense and Non-Homogeneous Dehazing Challenge, held with the CVPR 2024 workshops. The challenge introduced DNH-HAZE, a dataset of 50 pairs of real outdoor images with dense, non-homogeneous haze and their haze-free counterparts. The results are summarized in the challenge report (Ancuti et al., 2024).

This study examines the results of the NTIRE 2024 Challenge on Dense and Non-Homogeneous Dehazing. Innovative methods were introduced and tested using a new image dataset named DNH-HAZE. The DNH-HAZE dataset comprises 50 pairs of authentic outdoor images showcasing dense and non-homogeneous haze alongside corresponding haze-free images of identical scenes. The haze was simulated using a professional setup designed to mirror real-world hazy conditions. The competition attracted 374 participants with 16 teams presenting solutions for the final evaluation phase. The proposed solutions showed the leading edge of image dehazing technology.
