Contrast Enhancement Using Brightness Preserving Histogram Plateau Limit Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
-Contrast enhancement is an important factor in the gray scale images. One of the widely accepted contrast enhancement method is the Histogram equalization (HE). HE achieves comparatively better performance on almost all types of image but sometimes produces excessive visual deterioration. The proposed Contrast Enhancement using Brightness Preserving Histogram Plateau Limit (CEBPHPL) method provides better brightness preservation without allowing in excess of contrast improvement measure. This method decomposes the input image by computing the local maxima of the smoothed image using Gaussian filter which reduces the noise. Then the clipping process has been implemented which provides the good enhancement rate than the conventional methods. The experimental result of the proposed CEBPHPL is better than the existing methods. Keyword-Histogram Equalization, Contrast enhancement, Clipped Histogram Equalization, Plateau Limit

Multi Histogram Equalization Based Contrast Enhancement for Images
The fundamental and important pre-processing stage in image processing is the image contrast enhancement technique. Histogram equalization is an effective contrast enhancement technique and thus in this paper, a histogram equalization based technique called Quadrant Dynamic with Automatic Plateau Limit Histogram Equalization (QDAPLHE) is introduced. In this method, a hybrid of dynamic and clipp...
متن کاملRange Limited Bi-Histogram Equalization for image contrast enhancement
Histogram equalization is a popular technique for enhancing image contrast. However, it tends to change the brightness of an image and hence, this technique is not very well suited to be implemented in consumer electronics, where preserving the original brightness is essential to avoid annoying artifacts. This paper proposes a novel extension of bi-histogram equalization referred to as Range Li...
متن کاملA Novel Brightness Preserving Histogram Equalization Technique for Image Contrast Enhancement
A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of data in an image. It is an estimate of the probability distribution of a continuous variable (quantitative variable). Histogram Equalization is a contrast enhancement technique in the image processing which uses the histogram of image. However histogram equalization is not the best method for contrast enhancement because the mean ...
متن کاملComparative Study and Implementation of Image Enhancement Techniques based on Histogram Equalization
Histogram equalization (HE) is one of the common methods used for image enhancement. Histogram equalization has proved to be a simple and effective image contrast enhancement technique. The major difference among the methods in this family is the criteria used to divide the input histogram. For preserving the input brightness of the image, there is a segment to avoid the generation of non-exist...
