## Summary

A solo developer spent six months turning Visual Recovery, which was still just an idea in April, into a general-purpose real-time 4K 60FPS NVIDIA CUDA underwater image enhancement software, with algorithms designed specifically for real-time processing in turbid water. In this test, the GPU took about 5-10 milliseconds to process each frame. The project is still experimental, and the developer is seeking feedback from ROV operators and underwater computer vision practitioners.
