FloodNet: Underwater image restoration based on residual dense learning

作者:

Highlights:

• Propose FloodNet, an end-to-end CNN architecture to restored underwater images from a wide variety of degraded underwater images.

• Introduce residual dense blocks to connect the convolutional layers using skip-connections.

• Global feature fusion to adaptively utilize both local and global residual learning.

• Exhaustive perspective and quantitative experimental analysis on paired and unpaired underwater images.

• Perform application and user study analysis.
