Milano Retinex family

Abstract. Several different implementations of the Retinex model have been derived from the original Land and McCann’s paper. This paper aims at presenting the Milano-Retinex family, a collection of slightly different Retinex implementations, developed by the Department of Computer Science of Universitá degli Studi di Milano. One important difference is in their goals: while the original Retinex aims at modeling vision, the Milano-Retinex family is mainly applied as an image enhancer, mimicking some mechanisms of the human vision system.
