This paper introduces, a novel method for the image enhancement using multiscale retinex and practical swarm optimization. Multiscale retinex is widely used image enhancement technique which intemperately pertains on parameters such as Gaussian scales, gain and offset, etc. To achieve the privileged effect, the parameters need to be tuned manually according to the image. In order to handle this matter, a developed retinex algorithm based on PSO has been used. The PSO method adjusted the parameters for multiscale retinex with chromaticity preservation (MSRCP) attains better outcome to compare with other existing methods. The experimental result indicates that the proposed algorithm is an efficient one and not only provides true color loyalty in low light conditions but also avoid color distortion at the same time.
