چکیده

Histogram equalization, which stretches the dynamic range of intensity, is the most common method for enhancing the contrast of image. Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE), proposed by K. Zuierveld, has two key parameters: block size and clip limit. These parameters are mainly used to control image quality, but have been heuristically determined by users. In this paper, we propose a novel method of determining two parameters of the CLAHE using entropy of image. The key idea is based on the characteristics of entropy curves: clip limit vs entropy and block size vs entropy. Clip limit and block size are determined at the point with maximum curvature on entropy curve. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves images with very low contrast.
