Proposed AlgorithmFor Color Image Enhancement
Abstract
This paper introduces an algorithm for image enhancement for color
images. The proposed algorithm focused to improve the visibility of images ,
which caused from bad illumination of scenes captured by digital still camera.
This algorithm is a combination of two processes which are luminance and
contrast enhancement with a dynamic range compression of images. This
algorithm, also ensure that remove any discontinuities may happened after
processing by using a LPF as a post processing step. A comparison with a
Global histogram equalization algorithm also made to verify the activity of the
proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm contains several computation
steps, but taking into account the computation speed and best enhancement
degree.
