Color Image Enhancement Using Multiscale Retinex and Image Fusion Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 regions. Further, by fusing together the enhanced results of EGMSR and adaptive multiscale retinex (AMSR), we can get a natural fused image having high contrast and proper tonal rendition. Experimental results on several low-contrast images have shown that our proposed approach can produce natural and appealing enhanced images.

متن کاملAn Improved Approach for Contrast Enhancement of Spinal Cord Images based on Multiscale Retinex Algorithm
This paper presents a new approach for contrast enhancement of spinal cord medical images based on multirate scheme incorporated into multiscale retinex algorithm. The proposed work here uses HSV color space, since HSV color space separates color details from intensity. The enhancement of medical image is achieved by downsampling the original image into five versions, namely, tiny, small, mediu...

متن کاملRetinex processing for automatic image enhancement
There has been a revivification of interest in the Retinex computation in the last six or seven years, especially in its use for image enhancement. In his last published concept (1986) for a Retinex computation, Land introduced a center/surround spatial form, which was inspired by the receptive field structures of neurophysiology. With this as our starting point, we develop the Retinex concept ...
