Abstract

Color distortion in underwater scenes affect the accuracy of pattern recognition, visual understanding and key feature extraction work of underwater robots. In this paper, we propose a method to correct color distortion in underwater images by exploiting prior knowledge of the underwater scene and combining it with a residual network. A dataset with the color deviation only is created by the proposed method according to the underwater image imaging model. The residual network is adopted to train the dataset with only color shift so that they have the ability to improve color deviation. Training the network only in the presence of color-biased dataset provides the network to be more specialized, extract single features even better and the number of training samples is also reduced. The experimental results demonstrate that the method in this paper can fully preserve the local details of the image with the color correction, leading to good qualitative and quantitative results in comparison with other image restoration and enhancement methods.
