PolUR framework enhances underwater image restoration using polarization and RGB data

Researchers have introduced PolUR, a novel framework designed to enhance image restoration for underwater environments. This system uniquely combines polarization and RGB visual data to identify and address mixed degradations such as color casts, haze, and low light. PolUR aims to improve the robustness of image restoration by leveraging degradation-aware semantic features and has been evaluated on a new benchmark called MixPolar, which includes real-world degraded underwater images with corresponding descriptions.

    PolUR: Polarization Aware Multimodal Degradation Perception for Underwater Image Restoration

    Recovering high-quality images from degraded underwater observations is crucial for underwater exploration. Polarization observations show promise as an effective source of complementary physical cues for recovering target radiance under clear-water conditions. However, existing …
