Abstract

Motion detection in underwater video scenes is very important for many underwater computer vision tasks, such as target location, recognition and tracking. However, due to the strong optical attenuation and light scattering in water, underwater images are essentially characterized by their poor visibility, especially the low contrast and distorted information. To solve these situations, underwater moving target detection algorithm based on image enhancement is presented. The algorithm improves the contrast and clarity of the target by an adaptive underwater color image enhancement, and then extracts the moving targets by using ViBe background model. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively extract the complete moving target by overcoming the impact of underwater environment.
