A novel image-dehazing network with a parallel attention block

作者：

Highlights：

• An end-to-end network with a parallel spatial/channel-wise attention block is proposed for image dehazing.

• The spatial attention module and the channelwise attention module are combined in parallel for obtaining powerful features.

• The accuracy of the dehazing results is improved by using one parallel spatial/channel-wise attention block in the network.
