Title A name given to the resource An Efficient Underwater Image Restoration Model for Digital Image Processing Subject The topic of the resource Atmospheric light; Dehazing; Digital image processing; Improved bright channel prior; Transmittance image; Underwater image restoration Description An account of the resource Digital image processing (DIP) is showing a massive growth intodays trending world particularly, in the field of biological research. Underwater image analysis plays a vital role, where the images are easily prone to attenuation and haziness. Capturing underwater images has always been a challenging job due to dispersion and scattering of light inside water on a high scale. Several image enhancement and restoration methodologies are currently available to address these issues, where hazing and color diffusion are viewed as a common phenomenon in it. Such procedures normally includes two basic methodologies in it, namely dehazing and contrast or color enhancement, which improves the overall output of the degraded image. However, the quality and processing time of the images can still be enhanced with additional techniques incorporated to it. This work is intended toward proposing one such channel called improvised bright channel prior for dehazing the underwater images. The technique further improves on the existing methodologies by estimating the atmospheric light and refining the transmittance of the image along with image restoration. The experimental results show that the improvised bright channel prior methodology is found to perform better in dehazing underwater images with a balanced intensity in terms of dark and white patches obtained from it. When comparing and contrasting the processing time of the proposed methodology with the existing techniques, it is found that improvised bright channel prior performs better. Also, the quality of the dehazed underwater image obtained from the proposed channel is found to be effective when compared with the existing channels. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
