Background: Underwater images, in general, suffer from low contrast and high color
distortions due to the non-uniform attenuation of the light as it propagates through the water …

Underwater image processing has received tremendous attention in the past few years. The
reason for increased research in this area is that the process of taking images underwater is …

Visual systems are receiving increasing attention in underwater applications. While the
photogrammetric and computer vision literature so far has largely targeted shallow water …

Images taken under water usually suffer from the problems of quality degradation, such as
low contrast, blurring details, color deviations, non-uniform illumination, etc. As an important …

Underwater imaging is an important topic in maritime research. Due to the existence of dust-
like particles in water medium, underwater images are vulnerable to the effect of low contrast …

The attenuation (sum of absorption and scattering), which is caused by the dense and non-
uniform medium, generally leads to problems of color degradation and detail loss in …

In this paper, we propose a generative model to restore degraded underwater images
considering attenuation coefficients as clue and name it as AquaGAN. Computing the …

Due to underwater light absorption and scattering, underwater images often suffer from color
distortion and low contrast. However, existing underwater image enhancement methods can …

In this paper, we present a novel method for generating synthetic underwater images
considering revised image formation model. We propose to use the generated synthetic …

Underwater optical images often have serious quality degradations and distortions, which
hinders the development of underwater optics and vision systems. Currently, there are two …
