• Abstract: Single image super-resolution (SISR) models are able to enhance the resolution and visual quality of underwater images and contribute to a better understanding of underwater environments. The integration of these models in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) can improve their performance in vision-based tasks. Real-Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (Real-ESRGAN) is an efficient model that has shown remarkable performance among SISR models. In this paper, we fine-tune the pre-trained Real-ESRGAN model for underwater image super-resolution. To fine-tune and evaluate the performance of the model, we use the USR-248 dataset. The fine-tuned model produces more realistic images with better visual quality compared to the Real-ESRGAN model.

  Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is a challenging task due to the complex degradation caused by underwater environments. Previous methods often idealize the degradation process, and neglect the impact of medium noise and object motion on the distribution of image features. Our approach utilizes predicted images to dynamically update pseudo-labels, adding a dynamic gradient to optimize the network's gradient space.
