Abstract

The invention discloses an image restoration method and an imager processing apparatus using the same. The method includes the following steps: receiving a haze image comprising a plurality of pixels; detecting whether a color cast phenomenon occurs on the haze image; if yes, calculating a plurality of Laplacian distribution values respectively corresponding to the color channels; determining a maximum distribution value and a minimum distribution value among the Laplacian distribution values, and generating a self-adaptive parameter by comparing the maximum distribution value and the minimum distribution value; adjusting the transmission map by the self-adaptive parameter so as to generate a adjusted transmission map; calculating a plurality of color parameters respectively corresponding to the color channels according to the Laplacian distribution values; and restoring the haze image by using the color parameters and the adjusted transmission map so as to obtain a restored image.
