Restoration of Obscured Images

Abstract

Abstract: For the aim of exploring the deep undersea world map, a picture of high quality without interfering objects is preferred. However, within the water, the image quality tends to be hampered by light scattering, water density, and light attenuation. effects. Besides, the dynamic interference may affect the important underwater map. during this paper, we proposed a multi-step and all-around underwater image processing system, especially for the underwater images taken in succession to enhance the image quality, remove the dynamic interference, and reconstruct the image. The first step involves utilizing the dark channel approach together with the improved gray world algorithm for brightness adaptation and color correction. Initially, it identifies and removes a dynamic interference regarding image enhancement. Secondly, we applied an upgraded total variation model to patch the blank at the value of resolution. Finally, the super-resolution of the small print is realized by applying an improved BP network. After simulation and experiments, our system proved to realize ideal results of image enhancement and reconstruction.
