Light absorption and diffusion somehow degrade the clarity of the images. In order to improve visualization of underwater images, an approach using color correction based on histogram is used. The reason why this approach is used is simply because it improves contrast by redistributing intensity distributions and computes a uniform histogram. Histogram in Photoshop is a graph that shows the digital image balance and also placement of the pixels in an image. A few examples are shown in this paper. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. %O cited By 9; Conference of 2nd International Visual Informatics Conference, IVIC 2011 ; Conference Date: 9 November 2011 Through 11 November 2011; Conference Code:87315 %L scholars1816 %J Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) %D 2011 %N PART 1 %R 10.1007/978-3-642-25191-7₂₈
