摘要

对色差严重和边缘模糊的水下图像需进行复原。一般分两步：去散射和边缘增强。首先，提出一种用于水下图像去散射的多尺度迭代框架。利用卷积神经网络估计传输图，再用自适应双边滤波器改进传输图估计结果。由于无可用数据集训练网络，收集包含2000个水下图像的数据集以获得合成数据。其次，采用白平衡算法消除水下图像的色偏。最后将图像转换到特殊变换域，使用非下采样轮廓波变换对边缘去噪和增强。结果表明：该方法主、客观质量均明显优于现有方法。

Abstract

Image restoration is a critical procedure for underwater images

which suffer from serious color deviation and edge blurring. Restoration can be divided into two stages: de-scattering and edge enhancement. First

we introduce a multi-scale iterative framework for underwater image de-scattering

where a convolutional neural network is used to estimate the transmission map and is followed by an adaptive bilateral filter to refine the estimated results. Since there is no available dataset to train the network

a dataset which includes 2000 underwater images is collected to obtain the synthetic data. Second

a strategy based on white balance is proposed to remove color casts of underwater images. Finally

images are converted to a special transform domain for denoising and enhancing the edge using the non-subsampled contourlet transform. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.
