This paper presents a novel underwater image enhancement method addressing the challenges of low contrast, color distortion, and detail loss prevalent in underwater photography. Unlike existing methods that may introduce color bias or blur during enhancement, our approach leverages a two-pronged strategy. First, an Efficient Fusion Edge Detection (EFED) module preserves crucial edge information, ensuring detail clarity even in...

Exploring and monitoring underwater environments pose unique challenges due to water’s complex optical properties, which significantly impact image quality. Challenges like light absorption and scattering result in color distortion and decreased visibility. Traditional underwater image acquisition methods face these obstacles, highlighting the need for advanced techniques to solve the image color shift and image detail loss ca...
