研究目的
To develop a new restoration model for underwater images that enhances clarity and colorfulness, specifically for turbid offshore environments, by using reflection-illumination decomposition and local backscattering lighting estimation.
研究成果
The proposed method effectively restores offshore underwater images by leveraging optical priors and reflection-illumination decomposition, achieving superior clarity and color restoration compared to existing algorithms. It demonstrates wide applicability and significant improvements in image quality metrics, with potential for extension to other water types with appropriate priors.
研究不足
The method is specifically designed for offshore underwater images with high concentrations of tripton and cDom; performance may vary in other water types. Computational time, though improved, could be further optimized for real-time applications. The reliance on empirical parameters and priors may limit generalizability to all underwater conditions.
