Underwater video images, as the primary carriers of underwater information, play a vital role
in human exploration and development of the ocean. Due to the optical characteristics of …

In recent years, deep sea and ocean explorations have attracted more attention in the
marine industry. Most of the marine vehicles, including robots, submarines, and ships, would …

Images obtained in an underwater environment are often affected by colour casting and
suffer from poor visibility and lack of contrast. In the literature, there are many enhancement …

To accomplish reliable pedestrian detection using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under
night-time conditions, an image enhancement method is developed in this article to improve …

The topic of underwater (UW) image colour correction and restoration has gained significant
scientific interest in the last couple of decades. There are a vast number of disciplines, from …

Rapid developments in the field of underwater photogrammetry have given scientists the
ability to produce accurate 3-dimensional (3D) models which are now increasingly used in …

This paper presents a robust underwater simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM)
framework using autonomous relocalisation. The proposed approach strives to maintain a …

Underwater images suffer from extremely unfavourable conditions. Light is heavily
attenuated and scattered. Attenuation creates change in hue, scattering causes so called …

This paper presents a novel dataset for the development of visual navigation and
simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) algorithms as well as for underwater …

Underwater image processing has to face the problem of loss of color and contrast that
occurs when images are acquired at a certain depth and range. The longer wavelengths of …
