Contrast Enhancement of Color Images Using Improved Retinex Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Color images provide large information for human visual perception compared to grayscale images. Color image enhancement methods enhance the visual data to increase the clarity of the color image. It increases human perception of information. Different color image contrast enhancement methods are used to increase the contrast of the color images. The Retinex algorithms enhance the color images similar to the scene perceived by the human eye. Multiscale retinex with color restoration (MSRCR) is a type of retinex algorithm. The MSRCR algorithm results in graying out and halo artifacts at the edges of the images. So here the focus is on improving the MSRCR algorithm by combining it with contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) using image.

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...
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 کاملImage Processing for Human Understanding in Low-visibility
Low-visibility conditions for navigation of vehicles are a frequent occurrence. Driving at night, in blizzards, in sand storms, or in fog form an obvious set of challenging conditions. Remote operation of unmanned vehicles through a camera image provides a similar difficulty. Gathering intelligence from satellite imagery can similarly benefit from improved visibility. Advanced image processing ...
متن کاملColor Consistency and Local Contrast Enhancement for a Mobile Image-Based Change Detection System
Mobile change detection systems allow for acquiring image sequences on a route of interest at different time points and display changes on a monitor. For the display of color images, a processing approach is required to enhance details, to reduce lightness/color inconsistencies along each image sequence as well as between corresponding image sequences due to the different illumination condition...
متن کاملUnderwater image enhancement via extended multi-scale Retinex
Underwater exploration has become an active research area over the past few decades. The image enhancement is one of the challenges for those computer vision based underwater researches because of the degradation of the images in the underwater environment. The scattering and absorption are the main causes in the underwater environment to make the images decrease their visibility, for example, ...
