        abstract = {In addition to improving visual quality, the proposed approach focuses on maintaining the structural integrity of underwater images by minimizing information loss during enhancement. The technique operates at the pixel level, allowing precise adjustment of intensity and color values for each pixel, which results in better detail preservation and sharper outputs.
Underwater images often suffer from poor visibility due to light absorption and scattering. This results in low brightness, color distortion, and reduced clarity. In particular, red wavelengths diminish rapidly with depth, leading to significant color imbalance.
This project proposes a pixel-level enhancement technique using RGB color correction and brightness adjustment. The method improves contrast, restores natural colors, and enhances overall image quality without introducing noise.},
