New Enhancement Algorithm of Infrared Images Based on Dual Threshold of the Exponential Transform

Article Preview

Abstract:

Since the thermal imaging system detection ability and spatial resolution is lower than visible light CCD array,the definition of the infrared image is lower than that of the visible light image, which needs enhancement to improve image quality and for human vision. This paper proposes an enhancement algorithm of infrared images based on dual threshold of the exponential transform, firstly the original image can be processed by median filter to reduce noise,next separate the detail information of the 14-bit infrared image after noise reduction; then deal the detail image with the double threshold method based on the exponential transform,retaining or enhancing the detail information;when it comes to the base image,deal it with the gray linear mapping method, compressing its dynamic range.Finally the detail image and the base image are composed together after processing,getting 8-bit infrared image which can display and be processed on an ordinary display.
