This paper presents a new image enhancement method based on self-adaptive piecewise linear transformation. It is most important to select division points during the processing course of piecewise linear transformation because these division points can decide the quality and efficiency of image enhancement. In this paper, division points are automatically and self-adaptive selected based on the gray grade and histogram feature of images. In order to increase the contrast of the image, it is necessary to extend the object section, maintain the transition section and compress the background section. Our method is easy to use, and the experiment results show that the technique can produce good results on a variety of images.
