Research has evolved from implementing physics-based solutions to using very deep CNNs and GANs. However, these state-of-art algorithms are computationally expensive and memory intensive. This hinders their deployment on portable devices for underwater exploration tasks. These models are trained on either synthetic or limited real-world datasets making them less practical in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we propose a shallow neural network architecture, Shallow-UWnet which maintains performance and has fewer parameters than the state-of-art models. We also demonstrated the generalization of our model by benchmarking its performance on a combination of synthetic and real-world datasets.}, number={18}, journal={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence}, author={Naik, Ankita and Swarnakar, Apurva and Mittal, Kartik}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={15853-15854} }
