Abstract: Capturing an apparent picture from the bottom of the water bodies had been an important concern and challenge from the past. While alleviating the artifacts of underwater pictures, some contrast enhancement can be missing due to sharpening artifacts. Because of Multi scale fusion’s complexity and much execution time, we proposed color attenuation prior model based on depth & scattering restoration, color balance and modified white balance technique and Multi-scale cascaded CNN for restoration of the pictures as well. We tried to increase the underwater images definitions by using proposed methods and modified adaptive histogram equalization which, still continues as the best.
