Abstract
Abstract The light attenuation underwater causes the actual underwater images to suffer from color cast, low contrast, and weak illumination. To address these issues, an effective fusion-based method is proposed, which realizes color correction (CC), brightness adjustment, contrast, and detail enhancement of underwater images. Concretely, we first design an adaptive CC method via dominant color channel judgment and lower color channel compensation. Then, we detect the brightness of each input image and propose a gamma correction function based on the gradient of the cumulative histogram to adjust the brightness of the low-light images. Subsequently, global histogram stretching and adaptive fractional differentiation techniques are employed to process the brightness-adjusted image, and then the global contrast-enhanced version and detail-enhanced version are generated respectively. To integrate the advantages of both versions, a channel fusion method based on the Lab color space is used to fuse the luminance and color of the two versions separately. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the color and illumination of underwater images, as well as enhancing the clarity of images. Moreover, the testing results on multiple datasets validate the excellent stability of this method.

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
