Researchers have unveiled a new AI model that can transform hard-to-see underwater images into clear, highly accurate 3D scenes. It can help ecologists more accurately observe—and understand—environments like coral reefs. Researchers at the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed the model, named SeaSplat, to offset water’s two primary distorting…
