A Comparative Analysis of Histogram Equalization based Techniques for Contrast Enhancement and Brightness Preserving
نویسنده
چکیده
Histogram Equalization (HE) is a simple and effective image enhancement technique.But, it tends to change the mean brightness of the image to the middle level of the permitted range, and hence is not a very suitable for consumer product. While preserving the original brightness is essential to avoid annoying artefacts. To preserve brightness and to enhance contrast of images, numerous methods are introduced, but many of them present unwanted artefacts such as intensity saturation, over-enhancement and noise amplification. In the present paper, available histogram equalization based methods are reviewed and compared with image quality measurement (IQM)tools such as Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) to assess brightness preserving and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) to evaluate contrast enhancement.

Image Contrast Enhancement Using Histogram Equalization Techniques: Review
Image contrast enhancement is a fundamental pre-processing step in application requiring image processing operations. Histogram Equalization (HE) method is widely used for contrast enhancement. However, HE is not suitable for consumer electronic products directly. As a result, such image creates side-effects such as washed out appearance and false contouring due to the significant change in bri...
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...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Histogram Equalization Based Image Enhancement Techniques for Brightness Preservation and Contrast Enhancement
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 brightness of the output image is significantly different from the input image. There are several extensions of histogram equalization has been proposed to overcome the brightness pre...

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 ...
