This paper compares the performance of various filters on the images degraded by the fog. Denoising is vital for the image enhancement. It is difficult to remove the noise from the images while preserving the information and the quality of the image. For analysis filters like Median, Alpha Trim, Lee, Wiener, Anisotropic Diffusion and Guided filter are used. Number of performance metrics exists already in the literature to analyze the performance of denoising filters like SNR (Signal Noise

So, recently proposed dark channel prior method is studied and implemented. The visual results of the dark channel method are better than the filters.
