The invention provides an
underwater image enhancement method based on
color correction and detail enhancement. The
underwater image enhancement method provided by the invention comprises the following two steps:
color correction and detail enhancement. The method comprises: firstly, selecting a partially clear
underwater image, adjusting the Lab value of the underwater image to be restored by referring to the average value of the clear image Lab, and
color correction is achieved; For a color correction image, converting an RGB space into an HSV space, performing
histogram equalization on H, performing normalization
processing on S and V, and achieving
contrast enhancement; and secondly,
processing the linear combination of the contrast-enhanced image by adopting a
Laplace operator to obtain an edge mapping graph, and carrying out linear weighted fusion on the edge mapping graph, the contrast-enhanced image and the edge mapping graph to obtain a final enhanced underwater image. According to the
algorithm, color correction is realized by adjusting the Lab space value, and detail enhancement is realized by using the
Laplace operator, so that the image has rich detail information on the basis of color correction, and the overall visual effect of the image is improved.
