A Novel Retinex-based Method for Underwater Image Enhancement
Human exploration of the deep sea requires high-quality underwater images to obtain valuable information. However, due to the absorption and scattering of light propagating underwater, underwater images have poor visibility and require further repair or enhancement.
We proposed a novel Retinex-based underwater image enhancement method. The Retinex model is a simulation of the color perception of the human visual system, which can restore colors and adjust lighting to make subjective visual perception more comfortable.
