Users’ experiences of enhancing underwater images: An empirical study (2021)
Journal Article
Emberton, S., & Simons, C. (2021). Users’ experiences of enhancing underwater images: An empirical study. Quality and User Experience, 7(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41233-021-00048-3

Within the worldwide diving community, underwater photography is becoming increasingly popular. However, the marine environment presents certain challenges for image capture, with resulting imagery often suffering from colour distortions, low contras...

Underwater image and video dehazing with pure haze region segmentation (2017)
Journal Article
Emberton, S., Chittka, L., & Cavallaro, A. (2018). Underwater image and video dehazing with pure haze region segmentation. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 168, 145-156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2017.08.003

© 2017 The Authors Underwater scenes captured by cameras are plagued with poor contrast and a spectral distortion, which are the result of the scattering and absorptive properties of water. In this paper we present a novel dehazing method that improv... Read More about Underwater image and video dehazing with pure haze region segmentation.

Sensor capability and atmospheric correction in ocean colour remote sensing (2015)
Journal Article

Hierarchical rank-based veiling light estimation for underwater dehazing (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Emberton, S., Chittka, L., & Cavallaro, A. (2015). Hierarchical rank-based veiling light estimation for underwater dehazing. In X. Xie, M. W. Jones, & G. K. Tam (Eds.), Proceedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 2015 (125.1-125.12). https://doi.org/10.5244/C.29.125

Current dehazing approaches are often hindered when scenes contain bright objects which can cause veiling light and transmission estimation methods to fail. This paper introduces a single image dehazing approach for underwater images with novel veili... Read More about Hierarchical rank-based veiling light estimation for underwater dehazing.
