Effective Local Backscattering Estimation for Underwater Image Enhancement
2018
OCEANS 2018 MTS/IEEE Charleston
Due to absorption and scattering effects the underwater scenes are characterized by poor contrast, color shifting, additional noise and hazy appearance. In this paper we introduce a novel solution that estimates locally the backscattered light. While in general the existing solutions estimate a global backscattered light value over the entire scene, our local strategy is able to deal effectively to the more challenging non-uniform illumination generated by multiple light-sources. Our solution
