| contents | Underwater imaging plays a pivotal role in marine exploration and ecological monitoring. However, it faces significant challenges of limited transmission bandwidth and severe distortion in the aquatic environment. In this work, to achieve the target of both underwater image compression and enhancement simultaneously, an enhanced quality-aware scalable underwater image compression framework is presented, which comprises a Base Layer (BL) and an Enhancement Layer (EL). In the BL, the underwater image is represented by controllable number of non-zero sparse coefficients for coding bits saving. Furthermore, the underwater image enhancement dictionary is derived with shared sparse coefficients to make reconstruction close to the enhanced version. In the EL, a dual-branch filter comprising rough filtering and detail refinement branches is designed to produce a pseudo-enhanced version for residual redundancy removal and to improve the quality of final reconstruction. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art works under five large-scale underwater image datasets in terms of Underwater Image Quality Measure (UIQM). |
