Image contrast enhancement via entropy production
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a novel approach for image contrast enhancement is proposed. Employing a thermodynamical model to define local information content, the method derives a measure of local contrast which takes into account spatial structure across multiple scales. From this measure a local contrast map is computed, which is then applied to the image, giving rise to a selective enhancement of the original image. Here some applications to medical images will be presented as well as a comparison with other methods. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Efficient Contrast Enhancement Using Gamma Correction with Multilevel Thresholding and Probability Based Entropy
In digital image enhancement, contrast enhancement plays an important role. The main objective of contrast enhancement is to correct the local contrast in different area of the image. So that the feature unseen in the dark or bright area is brought out and exposed to the human views. In this paper improve the brightness of the dimmed images and preservation of image feature via multilevel thres...
متن کاملDensity-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 کاملDigital Trimulus Color Image Enhancing and Quantitative Information Measuring
Target detection via digital image processing is crucial to biomedical diagnosis and homeland security. Both image contrast enhancement and image segmentation are among the most practical approaches of image processing. Under conditions of improper illumination and unpleasant disturbances, adaptive image enhancement can be conducted, which adapts to the intensity distribution within an image. I...
متن کاملA General Framework for 1-D Histogram-baesd Image Contrast Enhancement
In this paper, a general framework for image contrast enhancement algorithm based on an optimization problem is presented. Through this optimization, the intensities can be better distributed. The algorithm is based on the facts that the histogram of the enhanced image is close to the input image histogram and uniform distribution, simultaneously. Based on this fact, we obtain a closed form opt...
متن کاملAdaptive Image Dehazing via Improving Dark Channel Prior
The dark channel prior (DCP) technique is an effective method to enhance hazy images. Dark channel is an image with the same size as the hazy image which represents the haze severity in different places of the image. The DCP method suffers from two problems: it is incapable for removing haze from smooth regions, causing blocking effects on these areas; it cannot properly reduce a haze with a no...
