Underwater image re-enhancement with blend of Simplest Colour Balance and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization Algorithm

Abstract

A trial has been made for a technique for the enhancement and restoration of underwater images. To resolve this a fusion algorithm that consists of a simple color balance algorithm and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) contrast enhancements algorithm is carried out. To increase the effect of R, G, and B values in the image’s color spectrum, we have used a simple color balance algorithm. This simple color balance algorithm observes the image’s brightest and darkest values and stretches as much as it can between maximum and minimum [0,255]. To increase the depths in the images we perform a contrast enhancement. The projected underwater image processing output is contrasted with a number of other current models. A comparison of our model shows an advantage over others in some results
