- Abstract
Underwater image enhancement is critical for a variety of marine applications such as exploration, navigation, and biological research. However, underwater images often suffer from quality degradation due to factors such as light absorption, scattering, and color distortion. Although current deep learning methods have achieved better performance, it is difficult to balance the enhancement performance and computational efficiency in practical applications, and some methods tend to cause performance degradation on high-resolution large-size input images. To alleviate the above points, this paper proposes an efficient network GFRENet for underwater image enhancement utilizing gated linear units (GLUs) and fast Fourier convolution (FFC). GLUs help to selectively retain the most relevant features, thus improving the overall enhancement performance. FFC enables efficient and robust frequency domain processing to effectively address the unique challenges posed by the underwater environment. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show that our approach significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques in both qualitative and quantitative metrics. The proposed network provides a promising solution for real-time underwater image enhancement, making it suitable for practical deployment in various underwater applications.
