An Enhanced DCT based Image Fusion using Adaptive Histogram Equalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image fusion fuses the information from several images of one scene to obtain a precise, complete and reliable image which is more appropriate for human visual perception or additional vision processing. The quality of an image is closely related to image focus. The discrete cosine transforms (DCT) based methods of image fusion are more suitable and time-saving in real-time systems using DCT based standards of still image or video. DCT based image fusion produced results but with lesser clarity, less PSNR value and more Mean square error. This paper proposes a new algorithm whose overall objective is to improve the results by combining DCT with adaptive histogram equalization. The experimental results and comparison has shown that the proposed algorithm provides a significant improvement over the existing DCT based fusion techniques.

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...
متن کاملA fusion-based enhancing method for weakly illuminated images
We propose a straightforward and efficient fusion-based method for enhancing weakly illumination images that uses several mature image processing techniques. First, we employ an illumination estimating algorithm based on morphological closing to decompose an observed image into a reflectance image and an illumination image. We then derive two inputs that represent luminance-improved and contras...
متن کاملImage Enhancement by Comparing Contrast value in Fuzzy Plane
In this paper, a novel approach is proposed for contrast enhancement of greyscale image using the fuzzy logic based techniques such as contrast intensification (INT) operator. In the proposed algorithm, a measure of contrast of an image is introduced which is maximized to obtain a suitable crossover point for an image. Using this crossover point, the enhanced image is obtained using the INT ope...
متن کاملPalmprint Identification Based on Dwt, Dct and Qpca
An individual can be identified effectively using palmprints. In this paper we propose palmprint identification based on DWT, DCT and QPCA (PIDDQ). Histogram equalization is used on palmprint to enhance contrast of an image. The DWT is applied on Histogram equalized image to generate LL, LH, HL and HH bands. The LL band is converted into DCT coefficients using DCT. QPCA is applied on DCT coeffi...
متن کاملColour Image Enhancement Based on Histogram Equalization
Histogram equalization is a nonlinear technique for adjusting the contrast of an image using its histogram. It increases the brightness of a gray scale image which is different from the mean brightness of the original image. There are various types of Histogram equalization techniques like Histogram Equalization, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Brightness Preserving Bi Histogr...
