In this paper, a new combinatorial image enhancement algorithm has been developed based on the statistical characteristic of the infrared image. The computer simulating experiments have proved this new algorithm can solve the problem of low contrast, noise, blurry image edge in the infrared image quite well. Results will be illustrated with a small, representative set of images taken in different condition. Additional, this new enhancement algorithm has been implemented in hardware. The processed images have demonstrated the effectivity of this image enhancement system. The delay time of the whole system it in microsecond(s) level that can meet the need for the real-time infrared image enhancement processing.
