Image Fusion Based Selective Optimal Restoration of Colors in Single Underwater Images

In this work, we put forward the approach of fusion of two-color corrected images of the same single underwater image obtained by two different color correction methods to optimize the restoration of colors of the image. Also, selective color correction is followed instead of general color correction. By this approach, we can reduce the color casts, a common drawback of the existing enhancement methods. The quality of the result of our fusion method is compared with the existing two enhancement methods of single underwater images. The experimental result shows that our method outperforms the existing methods in compensating for the color distortions.
