New 3D-USE framework enhances underwater scene reconstruction

Researchers have developed a novel two-stage framework called 3D-USE for enhancing underwater 3D scene reconstructions. This method first establishes a medium-aware Gaussian scene representation using Medium Radial Basis Anchor Representation (MediumRBF) to distinguish object and medium contributions. Subsequently, Appearance Transition Consensus (ATC) transfers knowledge from 2D underwater image enhancement to create scene-global and Gaussian-local targets, which are then realized by an Underwater Bilateral Appearance Field (U-BAF). This approach aims to improve visibility and consistency in rendered views without requiring paired enhanced 3D data. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and visually consistent underwater 3D reconstructions for applications in marine research, exploration, and virtual reality.

    3D-USE: From Image-Level to Scene-Level Underwater Enhancement

    arXiv:2608.28020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Underwater 3D reconstruction faithfully reproduces the color shifts and visibility loss of captured views, while physical inversion may leave estimation errors in the recovered scene appearance. We formulate Underwater Scene-level E…
