Adaptive polarimetric image representation for contrast optimization of a polarized beacon through fog [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a contrast-maximizing optimal linear representation of polarimetric images obtained from a snapshot polarimetric camera for enhanced vision of a polarized light source in obscured weather conditions (fog, haze, cloud) over long distances ...

A Benchmark dataset for both underwater image enhancement and underwater object detection

open access: yes, 2020
Underwater image enhancement is such an important vision task due to its significance in marine engineering and aquatic robot. It is usually work as a pre-processing step to improve the performance of high level vision tasks such as underwater object detection.

Understanding the Influence of Image Enhancement on Underwater Object Detection: A Quantitative and Qualitative Study

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Underwater image enhancement is often perceived as a disadvantageous process to object detection. We propose a novel analysis of the interactions between enhancement and detection, elaborating on the potential of enhancement to improve detection.

Underwater Fish Detection with Weak Multi-Domain Supervision

open access: yes, 2019
Given a sufficiently large training dataset, it is relatively easy to train a modern convolution neural network (CNN) as a required image classifier. However, for the task of fish classification and/or fish detection, if a CNN was trained to detect or ...

Streamlines for Motion Planning in Underwater Currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Motion planning for underwater vehicles must consider the effect of ocean currents. We present an efficient method to compute reachability and cost between sample points in sampling-based motion planning that supports long-range planning over hundreds of

Optimized Custom Dataset for Efficient Detection of Underwater Trash

open access: yes, 2023
Accurately quantifying and removing submerged underwater waste plays a crucial role in safeguarding marine life and preserving the environment. While detecting floating and surface debris is relatively straightforward, quantifying submerged waste presents significant challenges due to factors like light refraction, absorption, suspended particles, and ...
