Reddit user /u/CellistTraditional showcased Visual Recovery, an underwater image enhancement software they developed, stating it is based on NVIDIA CUDA and can process 4K 60FPS footage in real time, along with a 5-second before-and-after comparison. It is currently in the experimental stage, and the developer is seeking feedback from ROV operators and underwater computer vision professionals. The project was developed independently by this developer and took six months; in April it was still just an idea. Its algorithm is designed specifically for real-time processing in turbid waters. The developer states that in testing, GPU processing time is about 5-10 milliseconds per frame.

- Solo developer builds CUDA-based real-time 4K 60FPS underwater image enhancement system Visual Recovery in six months, with 5-second comparison
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.
