The red spectrum is attenuated in underwater scenes due to the properties of water. This letter proposes a novel method for color correction in underwater images based on scene depth, effectively removing color cast on single pixels. Experimental results demonstrate the significant improvement in color effect and the suitability of the corrected images for subsequent underwater image defogging methods.
The red spectrum is saliently attenuated due to the absorption and scattering properties of water. The acquired underwater images show severe color cast in underwater scenes. In this letter, we propose a novel color correction method for underwater images, which removes color cast on single pixels based on scene depth. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach can significantly improve the color effect and provide a correct input for the subsequent underwater image defogging methods.
