Haze is light scattered by particles in the air. It lays a pale veil over a scene that gets thicker with distance, washing out mountains, skylines and anything shot through a window.
The tool estimates the color of that veil and how thick it is at each point, using the fact that in a clear photo almost every small area contains something dark, then subtracts it. Distant parts are corrected more than near ones.
