Color in an image is resolved into 3 or 4 color components and 2-Dimages of these components are stored in separate channels. Most of the color image enhancement algorithms are applied channel-by-channel on each image. But such a system of…
The prime goal of digital imaging techniques is to reproduce the realistic appearance of a scene. Low Dynamic Range (LDR) cameras are incapable of representing the wide dynamic range of the real-world scene. The captured images turn out to…

Underwater images are usually covered with a blue-greenish colour cast, making them distorted, blurry or low in contrast. This phenomenon occurs due to the light attenuation given by the scattering and absorption in the water column. In…
