研究目的
To address the poor visibility in underwater scenes caused by absorption and scattering effects, which lead to poor contrast, color shifting, noise, and hazy appearance, by developing a novel method for local estimation of backscattered light to handle non-uniform illumination from multiple light sources.
研究成果
The proposed local backscattering estimation method effectively restores underwater images by handling non-uniform illumination, outperforming existing techniques in qualitative comparisons. It emphasizes the importance of local strategies for complex underwater conditions and suggests future work could involve more robust evaluations.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly discuss limitations, but based on the content, potential constraints include reliance on qualitative evaluation without quantitative metrics, and the method may be sensitive to patch size selection and assumptions in the optical model.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology involves inverting the underwater optical model (Jaffe-McGlamery model) to restore images. It uses a local strategy for backscattered light estimation with two complementary patch sizes (large and small) and employs the Dark Channel Prior (DCP) for transmission map estimation. A simple averaging of the two backscattering estimates is used for optimal results.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A large dataset of underwater images is used, including scenes with uniform and non-uniform illumination, but specific selection criteria or data acquisition methods are not detailed.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned; the method is computational and based on image processing algorithms.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps include: estimating the transmission map using DCP with red channel compensation; computing two local backscattered light estimates (for large and small patches) derived from the dark channel; averaging these estimates; and inverting the optical model to restore the image.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Qualitative evaluation is performed by comparing results with recent underwater enhancing techniques, but no statistical techniques or software tools are specified.
