  "summary": "Single image dehazing requires recovering scene radiance from visual responses that are weakened and veiled by participating media. Existing methods either invert explicit scattering variables, which can be unstable under complex scenes, or learn direct restoration mappings, which often discard the physical organization of haze formation. We present \\emph{FreePath}, a neural mean free path…",
