Underwater images (UI) generally demonstrate color distortion & low contrast as the outcome of exponential decay that light goes through as it travels. Furthermore, colors linked to diverse wavelengths have various attenuation rates. Light scattering (LS) & color change are 2 major issues in UI. Due to LS, incident light gets reflected & deflected numerous ways via particles current in the water. Dark channel prior (DCP) is an easy but efficient image prior. DCP system utilized for eliminates haze current in UI. But it may be invalid when the scene containing sky. We also have used red- DCP was distinct & resultant to approximation background light & transmission. In our proposed work, we have used multi-scale retinex to restore our image.
