Underwater Image Restoration and Enhancement Based on a Fusion Algorithm With Color Balance, Contrast Optimization, and Histogram Stretching

A fusion algorithm is proposed for the restoration and enhancement of underwater images. Color balance, contrast optimization and histogram stretching are carried out. To alleviate the effect of color shift in an underwater image, the scalar values of R, G, B channels are renewed so that the distrib...
