Underwater image enhancement is a challenging task and has gained priority in recent years, as the human eye cannot clearly perceive underwater images. We introduce an effective technique to develop the images captured underwater which are degraded due to the medium scattering and absorption. Our proposed method is a single image approach that does not require specialized hardware or knowledge about the structure of the hardware or underwater conditions. We introduce a new underwater image enhancement approach based on object detection and gamma correction in this paper. In our method, we first obtain the restored image on the base of underwater image model. Then we detect objects using object detection. Finally, the image is gamma corrected. adapted. Experimental results on real-world as well as mock underwater images demonstrate that the proposed method is a simplified approach on different underwater scenes and outperforms the existing methods of enhancement.
