Single image dehazing is a fundamental task in computer vision, aiming to recover a clear scene from a hazy input image. To address the limitations of traditional dehazing algorithms—particularly in global feature association and local detail preservation—this study proposes a novel Transformer-based dehazing model enhanced by an interactive channel attention mechanism. The proposed architecture adopts a U-shaped encoder–decoder framework, incorporating key components such as a feature extraction module and a feature fusion module based on interactive attention. Specifically, the interactive channel attention mechanism facilitates cross-layer feature interaction, enabling the dynamic fusion of global contextual information and local texture details. The network architecture leverages a multi-scale feature pyramid to extract image information across different dimensions, while an improved cross-channel attention weighting mechanism enhances feature representation in regions with varying haze densities. Extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets—including the RESIDE benchmark—demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method. Quantitatively, it achieves PSNR gains of 0.53 dB for indoor scenes and 1.64 dB for outdoor scenes, alongside SSIM improvements of 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively, compared with the second-best performing method. Qualitative assessments further confirm that the proposed model excels in restoring fine structural details in dense haze regions while maintaining high color fidelity. These results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in enhancing both perceptual quality and quantitative accuracy in image dehazing tasks.
