Abstract

Single image super-resolution (SISR) models are able to enhance the resolution and visual quality of underwater images and contribute to a better understanding of underwater environments. The integration of these models in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) can improve their performance in vision-based tasks. Real-Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (Real-ESRGAN) is an efficient model that has shown remarkable performance among SISR models. In this paper, we fine-tune the pre-trained Real-ESRGAN model for underwater image super-resolution. To fine-tune and evaluate the performance of the model, we use the USR-248 dataset. The fine-tuned model produces more realistic images with better visual quality compared to the Real-ESRGAN model.
