The effects of histogram equalization and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization are investigated and the one which gives good enhancement results is extended to the suitable color space. The color space which gives better results is chosen experimentally. Uniqueness of this work is that contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization technique is applied to the chrominance channels of the cardiac nuclear image, leaving the luminance channel unaffected which results in an enhanced image output in color space.展开更多

Though histogram equalization can enhance the contrast by redistributing the gray levels, it has the drawback that it reduces the information in the processed image. In this paper, we present a new image enhancement algorithm. After histogram equalization is carried out, morphological filters and wavelet-based enhancement algorithm is used to clean out the unwanted details and further enhance the image and compensate for the information loss during histogram equalization. Experimental results show that the morphological filters and wavelet-based histogram equalization algorithm can significantly enhance the contrast and increase the information entropy of the image.展开更多

In this paper, firstly, we define a function to measure the similarity degree of two images. Then, a suitable Gaussian fuzzy distribution function was chose to generate a 3 × 3 matrix of influential factors. In order to reduce the artificial boundaries, we combined the 3 × 3 influential matrix with a 3 × 3 smooth filter matrix to get the final smooth-influ- ence matrix. Finally, the smooth-influence matrix was used to process the center block image. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method can reduce time consumption while improving the image contrast and can get satisfactory results.展开更多

Underwater images are often not clear enough because the refraction of light underwater causes insufficient image resolution. Therefore, in order to solve the existing problems of traditional histogram equalization algorithm, an improved histogram equalization method is proposed to enhance the quality of images, which makes the saliency regions smoother and clearer. In this paper, the simulation experiments were conducted on UIEBD dataset and DLOU_underwater dataset. The experimental results show the effectiveness, robustness and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.展开更多
