Abstract
To improve contrast and restore color for underwater images without suffering from insufficient details and color cast, this paper proposes a fusion algorithm for different color spaces based on contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). The original color image is first converted from RGB space to two different spaces: YIQ and HSI. Then, the algorithm separately applies CLAHE in YIQ and HSI color spaces to obtain two different enhanced images. After that, the YIQ and HSI enhanced images are respectively converted back to RGB space. When the three components of red, green, and blue are not coherent in the YIQ-RGB or HSI-RGB images, the three components will have to be harmonized with the CLAHE algorithm in RGB space. Finally, using a 4-direction Sobel edge detector in the bounded general logarithm ratio operation, a self-adaptive weight selection nonlinear image enhancement is carried out to fuse the YIQ-RGB and HSI-RGB images together to achieve the final image. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm provided more detail enhancement and higher values of color restoration than other image enhancement algorithms. The proposed algorithm can effectively reduce noise interference and observably improve the image quality for underwater images.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
