New method enhances underwater images using reliable prior learning

Researchers have developed RPL-UIE, a novel two-stage framework designed to enhance underwater images. This method uses a teacher-student model to learn reliable spatial priors from degraded and reference images, which the student model then uses for restoration without needing reference images during inference. The framework incorporates Residual Prior Refinement Diffusion and Frequency-Aware Prior Residual Calibration to refine these priors, leading to improved image quality and better performance in downstream tasks like object detection and instance segmentation.
