Under water image enhancement based on linear image interpolation and limited image enhancer techniques

Abstract

The obstacles for images that are taken under the water are haze, low contrast, loss of color, etc. The quality of images that are taken under the water is not clear due to the impurities present in the water and some properties of water. This paper proposes methods to improve the quality of the underwater images. The proposed work in the paper consist of two methods they are Interpolation based Enhancement and Limited Image Enhancer. The First method is based on increasing the resolution of the image and the second method is based on increasing the contrast of the images. The main aim of the paper is to enhance the image that are taken under water. The qualitative for both the algorithms compared with the previous image enhancement techniques.
