And if you want to dive into the nitty gritty of how this algorithm was developed and how it works, you can read the full research paper on Sea-thru here. To see the algorithm in action and learn more about how Akkaynak was able to achieve this, watch the Scientific American feature up top. And while this technology was developed with an eye towards scientific uses, we can only imagine the results it would produce if shared with incredible National Geographic photographers like Paul Nicklen… It’s a “physically accurate correction,” and the results truly speak for themselves. To be clear, this method is not the same as Photoshopping an image to add in contrast and artificially enhance the colors that are absorbed most quickly by the water. This sample image, published alongside the research paper explaining this technique in detail, shows you just how incredible Sea-thru really is: As Akkaynak helpfully explained on Reddit, “All you need is multiple images of the scene under natural light, no color chart necessary.” It's a run-on from my Mass Effect Meme thing where my answer to 'What does Tali look like under the mask' was the Alien from Alien. She says that quarians are in their suits. Once trained, the color chart is no longer necessary. After completing her loyalty mission, Tali takes on a small fever and tells Shepard what life inside her suit is like.
