Abstract: The backward scatter that occurred with underwater light spreading is very strong, and it can occur a serious background nois e
in underwater imaging which causes underwater image fuzzy. And it is difficult to detect underwater target s. So how to detect underwater
targets with the low Signal to Noise Ratio is the question that people concern. The traditional methods of underwater dim targets detection
have some limitations on image contrast, gray scale or size of target, and so on. We deduced the model of backscattering noise by studying
the characteristics of underwater image, and then we used the model to detect the underwater targets with low SNR. The result s of the
experiment showed that this method was effective.
Key words: Backscattering noise; Underwater image processing; Background noise; Targets detection
