Underwater robots play a critical role in the marine industry. Object perception is the
foundation for the automatic operations of submerged vehicles in dynamic aquatic …

Dredging the surface of the ocean to identify both living and non living things nowadays has
become an unproblematic task with the help of the acoustic instruments. Side scan sonar is …

Acoustic images captured by side scan sonar are normally affected by speckle noise for
which the enhancement is required in different domain. The underwater acoustic images …

Image enhancement techniques serve as a preprocessing step in segmentation, object
detection and recognition in computer vision applications. These techniques may not be …

Specularity segmentation in colonoscopy images is a crucial pre-processing step for efficient
computational diagnosis. The presence of these specular highlights could mislead the …

Due to the complex underwater environment, the light will be scattered and absorbed in
water, so the underwater image has problems such as poor contrast, blur, uneven …

Scattering and Absorption of light in water are the two main problems in underwater
scenario which result in low contrast, high level of blurring and dull colours in underwater …

Underwater acoustic images are acquired using sonar instrument that uses sound
propagation to navigate and map the sea floor. The sonar devices are effectively used to …

In recent years, with the continuous development of underwater object detection and
recognition applications, the requirements for underwater image quality are getting higher …

Underwater acoustic images obtained from acoustic imaging equipment, either stand-alone
or on-board autonomous underwater vehicles, consist of noise, mainly in multiplicative form …
