A Review of image contrast enhancement techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the continuous development of computer science and technology, the field of Image processing is considered as a very active area of research. Digital Image Processing refers to processing of digital images by means of digital computer. The aim is to produce digital images with better contrast and hidden details. For this purpose, Image Enhancement techniques that process an input image so that output image will be more suitable than the original image are required. This paper reviews several approaches for contrast enhancement. The survey leads to the conclusion that field of DE is growing fast and improving the contrast using DE will help to solve many complex problems in Image Processing.

Estimation of Roughness Parameters of A Surface Using Different Image Enhancement Techniques (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Surface roughness measurement is widely used to estimate the quality of the product during manufacturing processes. It has a great importance in manufacturing fields such as ceramic tiles, glass, and iron. Many are using surface profile-meter with a contact stylus to measure the surface roughness of work piece. In the stylus method, a stylus is moved along the surface and the vertical movement ...
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 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 کاملImage Enhancement Using an Adaptive Un-sharp Masking Method Considering the Gradient Variation
Technical limitations in image capturing usually impose defective, such as contrast degradation. There are different approaches to improve the contrast of an image. Among the exiting approaches, un-sharp masking is a popular method due to its simplicity in implementation and computation. There is an important parameter in un-sharp masking, named gain factor, which affects the quality of the enh...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
