Usually the images are affected by various facts. Especially in underwater imagery, the haze and hue variations are greatly affected. This paper discusses the issues in underwater images and compares the existing image enhancement techniques for underwater images. Keywords: Underwater images, Contrast stretching, Histogram Equalization, Color correction I. INTRODUCTION Underwater images are corrupted due to scatters and amalgamation, resulting in low contrast and color distortion. Captured underwater images suffer from poor visibility. It is hard to acquire visible agreeable images at long or short distances due to the absorptive and dispersion nature of sea water. Noises diminish the details that could contain significant information. Thus, super-resolving underwater speckled imagimportant for ocean observation. These images frequently suffer from color distortion and low contrast due to the propagated light reduction with distance from the camera, mainly resulting from absorption and scattering effects. Even though there are many image enhancing techniques developed, such as white balance, color correction, histogram equalization, and fusion-based methods [1], they are not based on a physical model underwater, and thus are not applicable for underwater images with different physical properties.

A measure of image’s dynamic range or the "broaden" of image’s histogram is the contrast of an image. Whole range of intensity values present within the image, or in a easier way, the minimum pixel value

subtracted from the maximum pixel value is called dynamic range of image. It differs from the more complicated histogram equalization in a way that it can only concern a linear scaling function to the image pixel values. There are many applications; there is a need for flat histogram. This cannot be achieved by histogram stretching. So Histogram Equalization can be used here. A perfect image has equal number of pixels in all its grey levels. Hence to get a perfect image, the objective is not only to spread the dynamic range , but also to have has equal numbeof pixels in all its grey levels .This technique is known as Histogram Equalization (HE). Histogram equalization maps grey levels r of an image into grey levels s of an image in such a way that grey levels s are uniform. This expands the range of grey lare near the histogram maxima, and compresses the range of grey levels that are near the histogram minima. For most images, the contrast is usually expanded for most pixels, improving many image features Contrast Limited Adaptive HistEquilization (CLAHE) was originally developed for medical imaging and has proven to be successful for enhancement of low-contrast images such as portal films. The CLAHE algorithm partitions the images into contextual regions and applies the histogramequalization to each one. This evens out the distribution of used grey values and thus makes hidden features of the image more visible. The full grey spectrum is used to express the image. IV.
