TLDR
The proposed contrast enhancement technique using scaling of internal noise of a dark image in discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain adopts a local adaptive processing and significantly enhances the image contrast and color information while ascertaining good perceptual quality.Abstract:
A contrast enhancement technique using scaling of internal noise of a dark image in discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain has been proposed in this paper. The mechanism of enhancement is attributed to noise-induced transition of DCT coefficients from a poor state to an enhanced state. This transition is effected by the internal noise present due to lack of sufficient illumination and can be modeled by a general bistable system exhibiting dynamic stochastic resonance. The proposed technique adopts a local adaptive processing and significantly enhances the image contrast and color information while ascertaining good perceptual quality. When compared with the existing enhancement techniques such as adaptive histogram equalization, gamma correction, single-scale retinex, multi-scale retinex, modified high-pass filtering, multi-contrast enhancement, multi-contrast enhancement with dynamic range compression, color enhancement by scaling, edge-preserving multi-scale decomposition and automatic controls of popular imaging tool, the proposed technique gives remarkable performance in terms of relative contrast enhancement, colorfulness and visual quality of enhanced image.read more

TL;DR: The proposed compression technique will integrate SVD-WDR compression with Gradient-based optimization approach for reduction of blocking artifacts in images and the edge restoration method will also be used as a post processing technique to remove the ringing artifacts from the compressed images.

A multiscale retinex for bridging the gap between color images and the human observation of scenes
TL;DR: This paper extends a previously designed single-scale center/surround retinex to a multiscale version that achieves simultaneous dynamic range compression/color consistency/lightness rendition and defines a method of color restoration that corrects for this deficiency at the cost of a modest dilution in color consistency.

Properties and performance of a center/surround retinex
TL;DR: A practical implementation of the retinex is defined without particular concern for its validity as a model for human lightness and color perception, and the trade-off between rendition and dynamic range compression that is governed by the surround space constant is described.
