Underwater image quality enhancement through Rayleigh-stretching and averaging image planes

ABSTRACT: Visibility in underwater images is usually poor because of the attenuation of light in the water that causes low contrast and color variation. In this paper, a new approach for underwater image quality improvement is presented. The proposed method aims to improve underwater image contrast,...
