- Abstract
This paper presents an optimization based algorithm for underwater image de-hazing problem. Underwater image de-hazing is the most prominent area in research. Underwater images are corrupted due to absorption and scattering. With the effect of that, underwater images have the limitation of low visibility, low color and poor natural appearance. To avoid the mentioned problems, Enhanced fuzzy intensification method is proposed. For each color channel, enhanced fuzzy membership function is derived. Second, the correction of fuzzy based pixel intensification is carried out for each channel to remove haze and to enhance visibility and color. The post processing of fuzzy histogram equalization is implemented for red channel alone when the captured image is having highest value of red channel pixel values. The proposed method provides better results in terms maximum entropy and PSNR with minimum MSE with very minimum computational time compared to existing methodologies.
