Problems with water absorption and dispersion, color loss, poor light, and limited vision are some of the main obstacles and restrictions in underwater photography. A fusion-based method is suggested to enhance these photos' quality; specifically, it would employ the Gray world algorithm and CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) to boost color and contrast. The contrast-enhanced, white-balanced, and weight maps are successfully fused using a multi-scale fusion approach to provide a superior picture. This technique greatly improves underwater picture clarity by eliminating haze and increasing visibility.
