Image Enhancement with Statistical Estimation

Contrast enhancement is an important area of research for the image analysis. Over the decade, the researcher worked on this domain to develop an efficient and adequate algorithm. The proposed method will enhance the contrast of image using Binarization method with the help of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The paper aims to enhance the image contrast of bimodal and multi-modal images. The proposed methodology use to collect mathematical information retrieves from the image. In this paper, we are using binarization method that generates the desired histogram by separating image nodes. It generates the enhanced image using histogram specification with binarization method. The proposed method has showed an improvement in the image contrast enhancement compare with the other image.Comment: 9 pages,6 figures; ISSN:0975-5578 (Online); 0975-5934 (Print

Image Contrast Enhancement with Brightness Preserving Using Feed Forward Network

Image improvement techniques are very useful in our daily routine.In the field of image enhancement Histogram Equalization is a very powerful, effective and simple method. Histogram Equalization (HE) is a popular, simple, fast and effective technique for improving the gray image quality. Contrast enhancement was very popular method but it was not able to preserve the brightness of image. Image Dependent Brightness Preserving Histogram Equalization (IDBPHE) technique improve the contrast as well as preserve the brightness of a gray image. Image features Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) are the parameters to measure the improvement in a gray image after applying the algorithm. Unsupervised learning algorithm is an important method to extract the features of neural network. We propose an algorithm in which we extract the features of an image by unsupervised learning. After apply unsupervised algorithm on the image the PSNR and AMBE features are improved

Image Improvement Techniques Are Veryuseful In Our Daily Routine. In The Field Ofimage Enhancement Histogram Equalizationis A Very Powerful, Effective And Simplemethod. But In Histogram Equalizationmethod The Brightness Will Disturb Whileprocessing. Original Image Brightnessshould Be Kept In The Processed Image.

In Ourproposed Method Of Image Contrastenhancement With Brightness Preservingusing Curvelet Transform And Multilayerperceptron We Will Solve This Problem Andget Better Result Than Existing Methods.Results Are Compared On The Basis Of Twoimportant Parameter For Image Quality Suchas Absolute Mean Brightness Error (Ambe)And Peak Signal To Noise Ratio (Psnr)

Enhancement of Edge-based Image Quality Measures Using Entropy for Histogram Equalization-based Contrast Enhancement Techniques

An Edge-based image quality measure (IQM) technique for the assessment of histogram equalization (HE)-based contrast enhancement techniques has been proposed that outperforms the Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) and Entropy which are the most commonly used IQMs to evaluate Histogram Equalization based techniques, and also the two prominent fidelity-based IQMs which are Multi-Scale Structural Similarity (MSSIM) and Information Fidelity Criterion-based (IFC) measures. The statistical evaluation results show that the Edge-based IQM, which was designed for detecting noise artifacts distortion, has a Person Correlation Coefficient (PCC) > 0.86 while the others have poor or fair correlation to human opinion, considering the Human Visual Perception (HVP). Based on HVP, this paper propose an enhancement to classic Edge-based IQM by taking into account the brightness saturation distortion which is the most prominent distortion in HE-based contrast enhancement techniques. It is tested and found to have significantly well correlation (PCC > 0.87, Spearman rank order correlation coefficient (SROCC) > 0.92, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) < 0.1054, and Outlier Ratio (OR) = 0%)

In this paper, a new adaptive approach, namelythe illumination estimation approach is introduced into the colorto grayscale conversion technique. In this approach, someassumptions will be made to calculate the weight contribution ofred, green, and blue components during the conversion process.Two color to grayscale conversion algorithms are developedunder this approach, namely the Gray World Assumption Colorto Grayscale Conversion (GWACG) and Shade of GrayAssumption Color to Grayscale (SGACG) conversion algorithms.Based on the extensive experimental results, the proposedalgorithms outperform the conventional conversion techniquesby producing resultant grayscale images with higher brightness,contrast, and amount of details preserved. For this reason, theseproposed algorithms are suitable for pre- and post- processing ofdigital images

COLOR IMAGE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT BY USING ADVANCED STOCHASTIC RESEARCH

Advanced stochastic research(ASR) ,a simple contrast enhancement (CE) method, tends to show excessive enhancement and gives unnatural artifacts on images with high peaks in their histograms. Histogram-based CE methods have been proposed in order to overcome the drawback of ASR, however, they do not always give good enhancement results. In this letter, a histogram-based locality-preserving CE method is proposed. The proposed method is formulated as an optimization problem to preserve localities of the histogram for performing image CE. The locality-preserving property makes the histogram shape of the enhanced image to be similar to that of the original image. Experimental results show that the proposed histogram-based method gives output images with graceful CE on which existing methods give unnatural results
