Efficient contrast enhancement using adaptive gamma correction and cumulative intensity distribution
Yi-Sheng Chiu, Fan‐Chieh Cheng, Shih-Chia Huang · 2011
This paper proposes an efficient histogram modification method for contrast enhancement, which plays a significant role in digital image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition. We present an automatic transformation technique to improve the brightness of dimmed images based on the gamma correction and probability distribution of the luminance pixel. Experimental results show that the proposed method produces enhanced images of comparable or higher quality than previous state-of-the-art methods.
