Abstract :
We propose and implement a novel method of estimating attenuation coefficients and a strobe beam pattern using sequences of overlapping underwater color images and acoustic ranges from a Dopper Velocity Log (DVL). These values are used to correct the images for color and illumination artifacts with the goal of more consistent color correction for input into classification algorithms.
