An End-to-End CNN Approach for Enhancing Underwater Images Using Spatial and Frequency Domain Techniques

Journal Title: Acadlore Transactions on AI and Machine Learning - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Underwater image processing area has been a central point of interest to many people in many fields such as control of underwater vehicles, archaeology, marine biology research, etc. Underwater exploration is becoming a big part of our life such as underwater marine and creatures research, pipeline and communication logistics, military use, touristic and entertainment use. Underwater images are subject to poor visibility, distortion, poor quality, etc., due to several reasons such as light propagation. The real problem occurs when these images have to be taken at a depth which is more than 500 feet where artificial light needs to be introduced. This work tackles the underwater environment challenges such as as colour casts, lack of image sharpness, low contrast, low visibility, and blurry appearance in deep ocean images by proposing an end-to-end deep underwater image enhancement network (WGH-net) based on convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. Quantitative and qualitative metrics results proved that our method achieved competitive results with the previous work methods as it was experimentally tested on different images from several datasets.
