Underwater image super-resolution using multi-stage information distillation networks

Recently, single image super-resolution (SISR) has been widely applied in the fields of underwater robot vision and obtained remarkable performance. However, most current methods generally suffered from the problem of a heavy burden on computational resources with large model sizes, which limited their real-world underwater robotic applications. In this paper, we introduce and tackle the super resolution (SR) problem for underwater robot vision and provide an efficient solution for near real-time applications. We present a novel lightweight multi-stage information distillation network, named MSIDN, for better balancing performance against applicability, which aggregates the local distilled features from different stages for more powerful feature representation. Moreover, a novel recursive residual feature distillation (RRFD) module is constructed to progressively extract useful features with a modest number of parameters in each stage. We also propose a channel interaction & distillation (CI&D) module that employs channel split operation on the preceding features to produce two-part features and utilizes the inter channel-wise interaction information between them to generate the distilled features, which can effectively extract the useful information of current stage without extra parameters. Besides, we present USR-2K dataset, a collection of over 1.6K samples for large-scale underwater image SR training, and a testset with an additional 400 samples for benchmark evaluation. Extensive experiments on several standard benchmark datasets show that the proposed MSIDN can provide state-of-the-art or even better performance in both quantitative and qualitative measurements.

A survey on tracking control of unmanned underwater vehicles: Experiments-based approach

This paper aims to provide a review of the conceptual design and theoretical framework of the main control schemes proposed in the literature for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Additionally, the objective of the paper is not only to present an overview of the recent control architectures validated on UUVs but also to give detailed experimental-based comparative studies of the proposed control schemes. To this end, the main control schemes, including proportional–integral–derivative (PID) based, sliding mode control (SMC) based, adaptive based, observation-based, model predictive control (MPC) based, combined control techniques, are revisited in order to consolidate the principal efforts made in the last two decades by the automatic control community in the field. Besides implementing some key tracking control schemes from the classification mentioned above on Leonard UUV, several real-time experimental scenarios are tested, under different operating conditions, to evaluate and compare the efficiency of the selected tracking control schemes. Furthermore, we point out potential investigation gaps and future research trends at the end of this survey.

自适应背景光估计与非局部先验的水下图像复原

有效地实现单幅水下降质图像复原对水下资源探索及环境监控领域的清晰图像获取具有极其重要的意义。为解决常用暗通道先验方法来复原图像时,背景光的估计易受白色物体干扰,且无法有效估计前景中白色物体透射率,复原质量不高的问题。本文提出了自适应背景光估计与非局部先验的水下图像复原算法。首先根据背景光具有高亮度及平坦性的特点,利用阈值分割算法获得背景光的候选区域,再通过图像的色调信息从候选信息中选取最佳的背景光点。随后,利用各颜色通道光的波长与散射系数的相关性,提出了适用于水下图像的非局部先验,并利用该先验估计各通道的透射率。最后针对复原结果中,因水下介质,微生物,水流影响而产生的加性噪声,设计去噪的最小优化问题,并利用引导滤波求解该问题,以去除复原结果中的加性噪声。实验表明:该算法在确保运行效率的基础上,准确地估计透射率,较常用算法的复原精度提高了约18%。证明了该算法能有效用于单幅水下图像复原的工程实践中。
