Enhancing underwater images by fusion [PDF]
ACM SIGGRAPH 2011 Posters, 2011 When photographs are taken in underwater conditions the visibility of the scene is degraded significantly. This is due to the fact that the radiance of a point in the scene is directly influenced by the medium scattering. Practically, distant objects and part of the scene suffers from poor visibility, loss of contrast and faded colors.
