CLUIE: Clustering-Aware Recurrent Propagation with Local Structural Compensation for Underwater Image Enhancement
Underwater image enhancement remains challenging due to wavelength-dependent light absorption, scattering, and backscattering, which jointly cause color distortion, contrast degradation, and detail loss. Since these degradations vary with scene depth and imaging conditions, different regions within the same image often exhibit heterogeneous degradation patterns and thus require region-adaptive restoration. Although visual RWKV models offer an efficient linear-complexity solution for long-range dependency modeling, their predefined scanning orders are content-agnostic and therefore fail to adap
