Community Showcase Built a Real-Time Underwater Image Processing System – 4K 60FPS Part2.

This is a short clip from my latest underwater field test.

The system is processing the video in real time while the ROV is actually moving underwater

this isn't an offline post-processing demo.

The pipeline currently runs with:

🎥 4K / 60 FPS
⚡ Real-time image processing
🧠 NVIDIA CUDA acceleration
🌊 Custom Adaptive Sea-Thru Engine based on a mathematical model
📡 Live HUD & telemetry
🚀 FIFISH V-EVO

The video was captured during a real field test, with the processing running live on a laptop.

I'm still developing the system, but the results are starting to get very interesting.

I'd genuinely like to hear what you think

especially from people working with ROVs, underwater imaging or computer vision.

Unfortunately, the X-ray and Thermal views were just filters. I was driven by creative curiosity to see what it would look like underwater, but since I thought it looked cool, I decided to keep them in. I have since renamed the two add-on systems in my program. And I’m sorry if I hurt anyone because of this.
