Title: Underwater Image Enhancement based on Guided Multilayer Filtering
Huimin Lu received dual M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Kyushu Institute of Technology and Yangzhou University in 2011. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Kyushu Institute of Technology in 2014. From 2013 to 2016, he served as a JSPS Research Fellow (DC2, PD, and FPD) at Kyushu Institute of Technology. He is currently an Associate Professor at Kyushu Institute of Technology.
Abstract
In this talk, we introduce a novel approach that is able to enhance underwater images based on single image to overcome the drawbacks of the above methods. We propose a new guided trigonometric filter instead of the matting Laplacian to solve the alpha mattes more efficiently. In short summary, our technical contributions are threefold: first, the proposed guided trigonometric guided filter can perform as an edge-preserving smoothing operator like the popular bilateral filter behavior near the edges. Second, the novel guided filter has a fast and non-approximate constant-time algorithm, whose computational complexity is independent of the filtering kernel size. Third, the proposed αACE is effective in underwater image enhancement.
