IEEE NL OES chapter invited talk 1


Dear all,

We kindly invite you to attend the 1st invited technical talk organized by IEEE OES NL Chapter for 2023, the talk information:

The title of the talk:

Underwater Image Enhancement Based on Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:

Reinforcement learning is a family of methods for optimizing models in a sequential trial-and-error fashion. It can achieve optimal results for complicated models which can hardly be addressed by ordinary optimization methods. Underwater optical imaging involves complicated procedures including imaging process, visualization, and applications such as object detection in underwater optical images. How to achieve underwater optimal optical imaging for the purpose of high-quality image enhancement, good visualization and accurate object detection remains challenging problems. To address these challenges, we develop reinforcement learning strategies for optimizing the three procedures involved in underwater optical imaging. Specifically, we describe how to conduct optimal configuration of underwater optical imaging process, how to obtain optimal representation by underwater optical visualization, and how to achieve optimal performance for underwater optical object detection. Our preliminary study paves a possible way for exploiting reinforcement learning for obtaining underwater optimal optical imaging results.
