Titel
Single scattering underwater imaging model
Abstract
Optical imaging under water represents a still unresolved problem. Poor visibility, blurred images and a limited signal-to-noise-ratio are the consequences of absorption and scattering dominating the properties of water. In order to enhance or even restore image content from underwater images, it is essential to understand and model the imaging process. In this technical report a new model is derived, taking into account three different components of light transportation. Thus most image degradation effects in underwater imaging can be described and therefore also removed.
