Image Improvement of Underwater Objects Using the Lucy-Richardson Method with the White Balancing Technique with the Gray World Model

Underwater object images have dark and poor image quality due to the depth of the captured image object. Image quality is significantly influenced by illumination. This research uses the Lucy-Richardson method to improve image quality by utilizing knowledge of the degradation process to restore the original image. Meanwhile, the image processing technique, the Lucy-Richardson Method with the White Balancing Technique with the Gray World Model algorithm, sharpens certain features in the object image. The Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PNSR) is employed to evaluate the research's results, and the results provided can offer solutions to the problems above.
