Abstract: Underwater imaging is an important part to seafloor observation by underwater robot. Underwater robots provide many images, which contain seafloor environment, and theses images contribute to various fields such as marine biology, marine geology and fishery science. However, underwater images has different properties, such as uneven illumination and light attenuation, compared to images which taken in air, and these properties impede image checking by researchers. In this paper we propose an image enhancement based on scale-gain Retinex, and the proposed method is experimented on the Suruga-bay in Japan.
