Enhancing the Perception of Color Casting and Contrasting in Underwater Image using Fusion Methods

A thorough method for improving color casting and contrast perception in underwater images is described, coupled with a compression and reconstruction technique to maintain the enhanced visual quality of the images while reducing storage and transmission costs. The suggested approach combines color correction and image enhancement techniques, followed by a robust compression algorithm leverages the underlying statistical properties of the enhanced image. The reconstruction process subsequently recovers the high-quality image using a decompression technique. Both subjective and objective image quality measures are used to assess the effectiveness of the suggested strategy, showing notable gains in visual perception and compression efficiency. The outcomes show that the suggested strategy has the potential to enable more efficient underwater data analysis and interpretation.
