Abstract

People collect images and videos from a wide range of the undersea world. Waterproof cameras have become popular, allowing people to easily record underwater creatures while snorkelling and diving. These images or videos often suffer from colour distortion and low contrast due to the propagated light attenuation with distance from the camera, primarily resulting from absorption and scattering effects. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an underwater scene depth more accurately. Experimental results on restoring real and synthesized underwater images demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other IFM-based underwater image restoration methods.

Keywords

Underwater image, image restoration, colour distortion, snorkelling, scattering effects, blurriness, light absorption.
