Underwater image enhancement via integrated RGB and LAB color models

作者:

Highlights:

• A dedicated fractions-based method to tackle the color shifts of underwater images.

• A local enhancement and exposure cut-off-based histogram to improve local contrast.

• A gain equalization method to trade-off the differences between the A and B channels.

• A detail sharpening method to improve the details and edges of the output image.
