Underwater image enhancement via extended multi-scale Retinex
TLDR
This paper presents a novel method for underwater image enhancement inspired by the Retinex framework, which simulates the human visual system and utilizes the combination of the bilateral filter and trilateral filter on the three channels of the image in CIELAB color space according to the characteristics of each channel.About:

An Underwater Image Enhancement Benchmark Dataset and Beyond
TL;DR: This paper constructs an Underwater Image Enhancement Benchmark (UIEB) including 950 real-world underwater images, 890 of which have the corresponding reference images and proposes an underwater image enhancement network (called Water-Net) trained on this benchmark as a baseline, which indicates the generalization of the proposed UIEB for training Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).

Fast Underwater Image Enhancement for Improved Visual Perception
TL;DR: The proposed conditional generative adversarial network-based model is suitable for real-time preprocessing in the autonomy pipeline by visually-guided underwater robots and provides improved performances of standard models for underwater object detection, human pose estimation, and saliency prediction.

An Experimental-Based Review of Image Enhancement and Image Restoration Methods for Underwater Imaging
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the image enhancement and restoration methods that tackle typical underwater image impairments, including some extreme degradations and distortions, in terms of the underwater image formation model (IFM).

Bilateral filtering for gray and color images
Carlo Tomasi,Roberto Manduchi +1 more
TL;DR: In contrast with filters that operate on the three bands of a color image separately, a bilateral filter can enforce the perceptual metric underlying the CIE-Lab color space, and smooth colors and preserve edges in a way that is tuned to human perception.

A multiscale retinex for bridging the gap between color images and the human observation of scenes
TL;DR: This paper extends a previously designed single-scale center/surround retinex to a multiscale version that achieves simultaneous dynamic range compression/color consistency/lightness rendition and defines a method of color restoration that corrects for this deficiency at the cost of a modest dilution in color consistency.

Properties and performance of a center/surround retinex
TL;DR: A practical implementation of the retinex is defined without particular concern for its validity as a model for human lightness and color perception, and the trade-off between rendition and dynamic range compression that is governed by the surround space constant is described.
