Research on Enhancement Method of Feather Images Based on Color Constancy

This article discusses the requirements and implementation of feather image enhancement. Feather image enhancement need correct the uneven illumination, maintain color constancy and preserve texture details. Experiments are taken with four typical enhancement algorithms. The result shows that MSRCR algorithm can preferable meet the requirements. A novel improvement on MSRCR is proposed, that can get better effect.
