A Technique for Enhancement of Gray Image using Local Gamma Correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image enhancement is used to improve the visual effects and the clarity of image or to make the original image more beneficial for computer to process. Uneven illumination always affects image quality serious in practice. To weaken illumination effect on image quality, local gamma correction with adaptive threshold is used to improve the visual appearance of the image or to provide better transform representation for future automated image processing. In proposed method, whole image has been divided into two levels having low and high contrast values and low contrast regions are enhanced by large gamma values and high contrast regions are enhanced by low gamma value. Therefore gamma correction has been applied locally on separate regions. Results are measured by finding mean, standard deviation, average gradient and entropy values and are compared with existed techniques.

Image Quality Enhancement Using Pixel Wise Gamma Correction
This paper presents a new automatic image enhancement method by modifying the gamma value of its individual pixels. Most of existing gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma value across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image using support vector machine. First, a dat...

In this paper a new automatic method is presented to enhance the image brightness through gamma correction process. Most of current gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma correction across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method does the gamma correction in a local approach. Thus the method is able to estimate ap...
متن کاملImage quality enhancement in digital panoramic radiograph
One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to the pati...
متن کاملDensity-Based Histogram Partitioning and Local Equalization for Contrast Enhancement of Images
Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...
متن کاملAdaptive Image Dehazing via Improving Dark Channel Prior
The dark channel prior (DCP) technique is an effective method to enhance hazy images. Dark channel is an image with the same size as the hazy image which represents the haze severity in different places of the image. The DCP method suffers from two problems: it is incapable for removing haze from smooth regions, causing blocking effects on these areas; it cannot properly reduce a haze with a no...
