Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is crucial for high-level vision in underwater robotics. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made significant achievements in UIE, the locality of convolution poses a challenge in capturing the global context. In contrast, transformer-based networks, adept at handling long-range dependencies, have shown promise in various vision … [Read more...] about WaterFormer: A Global–Local Transformer for Underwater Image Enhancement With Environment Adaptor
