Multisensor fusion and enhancement using the Retinex image enhancement algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to sensor fusion and enhancement is presented. The retinex image enhancement algorithm is used to jointly enhance and fuse data from long wave infrared, short wave infrared and visible wavelength sensors. This joint optimization results in fused data which contains more information than any of the individual data streams. This is especially true in turbid weather conditions, where the long wave infrared sensor would conventionally be the only source of usable information. However, the retinex algorithm can be used to pull out the details from the other data streams as well, resulting in greater overall information. The fusion uses the multiscale nature of the algorithm to both enhance and weight the contributions of the different data streams forming a single output data stream.

Color Image Enhancement Using Multiscale Retinex and Image Fusion Techniques
Abstract—In this paper, an edge-strength guided multiscale retinex (EGMSR) approach will be proposed for color image contrast enhancement. In EGMSR, the pixel-dependent weight associated with each pixel in the single scale retinex output image is computed according to the edge strength around this pixel in order to prevent from over-enhancing the noises contained in the smooth dark/bright regio...

The Retinex is a general-purpose image enhancement algorithm that is used to produce good visual representations of scenes. It performs a non-linear spatial/spectral transform that synthesizes strong local contrast enhancement and color constancy. A real-time, video frame rate implementation of the Retinex is required to meet the needs of various potential users. Retinex processing contains a r...
متن کاملAdaptive Multi-Scale Retinex algorithm for contrast enhancement of real world scenes
Contrast enhancement is a classic image restoration technique that traditionally has been performed using forms of histogram equalization. While effective these techniques often introduce unrealistic tonal rendition in real-world scenes. This paper explores the use of Retinex theory to perform contrast enhancement of real-world scenes. We propose an improvement to the Multi-Scale Retinex algori...
