An Enhanced Adaptive Histogram Equalization Based Local Contrast Preserving Technique for HDR Images

To improve the visualization of an image, the image enhancement techniques enhance the assured features of an image. In this work, the algorithm will enhance medical as well as normal or natural images which are captured in low light and day light conditions. An enhanced adaptive histogram equalization based local contrast preserving technique is developed with the help of image processing methods such as changing colour spaces, inverting images, dehazing, increasing saturation etc. The algorithm proposed here is intended to maintain the local image details while attaining the contrast enhancement. To express the performance of this algorithm, the image quality metrics calculated are peak signal to noise ratio and normalized absolute error. This metric parameters show that this model has better performance when compared to other existing methods.
