Shefali Gupta, Yadwinder Kaur . Review of Different Local and Global Contrast Enhancement Techniques for a Digital Image. International Journal of Computer Applications. 100, 18 ( August 2014), 18-23. DOI=10.5120/17625-8384
Image enhancement is one of the challenging issues in low level image processing. The main aim of image enhancement is to enhance quality of the image so that visual appearance can be improved. Contrast enhancement is an important factor for image enhancement. Histogram based techniques are one of the most important image processing techniques that are used for enhancement tasks. Histogram equalization is a very effective approach to contrast enhancement. However, histogram equalization tends to change the brightness of the image. The present paper describes a review of different local and global contrast enhancement techniques for a digital image.
