Color correction methods for underwater image enhancement: A systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT: Underwater vision is essential in numerous applications, such as marine resource surveying, autonomous navigation, objective detection, and target monitoring. However, raw underwater images often suffer from significant color deviations due to light attenuation, presenting challenges for practical use. This systematic literature review examines the latest advancements in color correction methods for underwater image enhancement. The core objectives of the review are to identify and critically analyze existing approaches, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and areas for future research. A comprehensive search across eight scholarly databases resulted in the identification of 67 relevant studies published between 2010 and 2024. These studies introduce 13 distinct methods for enhancin
