A system and method are provided for separating ocean surface reflected light, atmosphere and ocean scattered light, and anomalous objects in multispectral ocean imagery. The method begins with input image data including a plurality of pixels. The pixels are analyzed and exceptionally “red” pixels are eliminated from further processing. A processed image is produced by subtracting the estimated reflected and scattered light. The output image can then be provided for human analysis or further automated computer processing to locate anomalous objects on or below the ocean surface.
