Analysis and Comparison of Image Enhancement Methods

Abstract:

Based on the principle of the image enhancement, various image enhancement methods are introduced, analyzed and studied. Because image enhancement is closely related to the property of the interested target, the habit of observers and the specific processing goal, the image enhancement is only aimed at the given process goal, too. According to different images, these image enhancement methods are simulated by the MATLAB tools. Through comparing the test results, the results show that different methods will give different effects. Without a common image enhancement method is suitable for various occasions.
