    When taking images in foggy environment, fog, haze, and other media lead to image blur, low contrast, and dim color. In this paper, the atmospheric scattering model and the principle of polarized light are combined to obtain the dual angle polarized image with the maximum brightness and the minimum brightness by using the Stokes parameters. The atmospheric light intensity at infinity in the scene is accurately estimated by the new method of comparing the mean value of the dark channel of the quartered image, and finally the foggy image is restored to the image without fog. The experimental results show that the image NRSS (no reference structural similarity) and mean gradient are greatly improved in both mist and dense haze environments.
