Comparative Study of Histogram Equalization Algorithms for Image Enhancement

چکیده
Histogram equalization is one of the common tools for improving contrast in digital photography, remote sensing, medical imaging, and scientific visualization. It is a process for recovering lost contrast in an image by remapping the brightness values in such a way that equalizes or more evenly distributes its brightness values. However, Histogram Equalization may significantly change the brightness of the entire image and generate undesirable artifacts. Therefore, many Histogram Equalization based algorithms have been developed to overcome this problem. This paper presents a comprehensive review study of Histogram Equalization based algorithms. Computer simulations and analysis are provided to compare the enhancement performance of several Histogram Equalization based algorithms. A secondderivative-like enhancement measure is introduced to quantitatively evaluate their performance for image enhancement.

Density-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...

Underwater photography is challenging due to poor illumination and varying environment condition. Due to the insufficient illumination provided by the Automated Underwater Vehicles (AUV), the obtained degraded images need to be enhanced. Image enhancement techniques have to be implemented in hardware to be used with AUVs. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) have been proved to be a better opt...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Contrast Enhancement using Image Fusion
Image enhancement is used to improve the visual quality of an image. In this paper a different approach on image fusion has been described for image enhancement. The two main algorithms involved in this approach are Recursive Mean Separate Histogram Equalization and Linear Image Fusion. To get the fused image in this approach the input images are the original image and the Recursive Mean Separa...
