Two-dimensional histogram equalization and contrast enhancement

In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional histogram equalization (2DHE) algorithm which utilizes contextual information around each pixel to enhance the contrast of an input image. The algorithm is based on the observation that the contrast in an image can be improved by increasing the grey-level differences between each pixel and its neighbouring pixels. The image equalization is achieved by assuming that for a given image, the modulus of the grey-level differences between pixels and their neighbouring pixels are equally distributed. The well-known global histogram equalization algorithm is a special case of 2DHE when contextual information is not utilized. 2DHE is easy to implement requiring only a small number of simple arithmetic operations and is thus suitable for real-time contrast enhancement applications. Experimental results show that 2DHE produces better or comparable enhanced images than several state-of-the-art algorithms. The only parameter in 2DHE which requires tuning is the size of the spatial neighbourhood support which provides the contextual information for a given dynamic range of the enhanced image. An automated parameter selection algorithm is also presented. The algorithm can be applied to a wide range of image types.     

Bi-histogram equalization using modified histogram bins

The shifting of image mean brightness and the domination of high-frequency bins during histogram equalization (HE) often result in the deteriorating quality of enhanced images and a considerable amount of information loss. This study proposes a novel approach based on bi-histogram equalization to improve its abilities in preserving information entropy and mean brightness. The proposed technique, named Bi-histogram Equalization using Modified Histogram Bins (BHEMHB), segments the input histogram based on the median brightness of an image and alters the histogram bins before HE is applied. Histogram segmentation enables mean brightness preservation, whereas the modification of histogram bins restricts the enhancement rate, thus minimizing the domination effects of high-frequency histogram bins. Simulation results show that BHEMHB significantly outperforms its peers in preserving the details and mean brightness of an image. The output image is visually pleasant with a natural appearance.     

Adaptive-neighborhood histogram equalization for image enhancement

By modifying the histogram of an image, a dramatic improvement in the perceptibility of details can often be achieved. However, the two commonly used methods of full-frame histogram equalization and local-area histogram equalization often fail to produce adequate enhancement when the image contains relatively small but variable-sized regions in which there are objects or features of interest with low visual contrast. A new method of adaptive-neighborhood histogram equalization that is effective in enhancing these types of images is proposed in this paper. In this method, an adaptive neighborhood is developed for each pixel in the image. The adaptive neighborhood is a compound region made up of a foreground that contains 8-connected pixels close in gray level to that of the seed pixel, and a background of neighboring pixels molded around the foreground. The histogram of this adaptive neighborhood is equalized to provide the transformation that is applied to the seed pixel. Major advantages of this method are the avoidance of block edge artifacts that are encountered in local-area histogram equalization, and improved perceptibility of image detail. Examples of images transformed using the three methods of histogram modification are presented along with a discussion of the merits of the adaptive-neighborhood method.     

自适应动态峰值剪切直方图均衡化
