This paper presents a perception-aware decomposition and fusion framework for underwater image enhancement (UIE). Specifically, a general structural patch decomposition and fusion (SPDF) approach is introduced. SPDF is built upon the fusion of two complementary pre-processed inputs in a perception-a...
