Advancing Visual Reliability: Color-Accurate Underwater Image Enhancement for Real-Time Underwater Missions

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.16363v1 Announce Type: new Underwater image enhancement plays a crucial role in providing reliable visual information for underwater platforms, since strong absorption and scattering in water-related environments generally lead to image quality degradation. Existing high-performance methods often rely on complex architectures, which hinder deployment on underwater devices. Lightweight methods often sacrifice quality for speed and struggle to handle severely degraded underwater images.
