Research Description

Exploration of Underwater Images will be a challenging task due to its degradations by haze, blur, color cast and noise. In order to extract the latent information from the blurred portion, its parameters are estimated and various algorithms were analyzed. Initially, length and angle of motion blurred image are estimated. Then, filters and restoration algorithms were implemented for controlling of ringing artifacts, removal of noise and latent information restoration. Some of the model based classical methods were implemented and analyzed for underwater motion blurred image restoration.
