contents Image dehazing aims to restore clean images from hazy ones. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformers have demonstrated exceptional performance in local and global feature extraction, respectively, and currently represent the two mainstream frameworks in image dehazing. In this paper, we propose a novel dual-branch image dehazing framework that guides CNN and Transformer components interactively. We reconsider the complementary characteristics of CNNs and Transformers by leveraging the differential relationships between global and local features for interactive guidance. This approach enables the capture of local feature positions through global attention maps, allowing the CNN to focus solely on feature information at effective positions. The single-branch Transformer design ensures the network's global information recovery capability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method yields competitive qualitative and quantitative evaluation performance on both synthetic and real public datasets.
