scholarly journals Reduction based Histogram Equalization Technique for Image Enhancement

Here the proposed scheme mainly emphasizes the procedure of histogram equalization of images in more efficient way. Histogram equalization is required for image enhancement. Histogram spreads or flattens the histogram of an image and due to this the pixels with lower intensity values appear darker and the pixels with higher intensity values appear lighter. So the contrast of the input image is improved. For human interpretation various techniques of image enhancement have been widely used in different applications areas of image processing as the subjective quality of images is mainly important

In many image processing applications, a wide range of image enhancement techniques are being proposed. Many of these techniques demanda lot of critical and advance steps, but the resultingimage perception is not satisfactory. This paper proposes a novel sharpening method which is being experimented with additional steps. In the first step, the color image is transformed into grayscale image, then edge detection process is applied using Laplacian technique. Then deduct this image from the original image. The resulting image is as expected; After performing the enhancement process,the high quality of the image can be indicated using the Tenengrad criterion. The resulting image manifested the difference in certain areas, the dimension and the depth as well. Histogram equalization technique can also be applied to change the images color.

In image processing applications, one of the main preprocessing phases is image enhancement that is used to produce high quality image or enhanced image than the original input image. These enhanced images can be used in many applications such as remote sensing applications, geo-satellite images, etc. The quality of an image is affected due to several conditions such as by poor illumination, atmospheric condition, wrong lens aperture setting of the camera, noise, etc [2]. So, such degraded/low exposure images are needed to be enhanced by increasing the brightness as well as its contrast and this can be possible by the method of image enhancement. In this research work different image enhancement techniques are discussed and reviewed with their results. The aim of this study is to determine the application of deep learning approaches that have been used for image enhancement. Deep learning is a machine learning approach which is currently revolutionizing a number of disciplines including image processing and computer vision. This paper will attempt to apply deep learning to image filtering, specifically low-light image enhancement. The review given in this paper is quite efficient for future researchers to overcome problems that helps in designing efficient algorithm which enhances quality of the image.

The method Histogram equalization is common in image enhancement. Using histogram to contrast the entire image and reduce noise .but we are using histogram equalization method remove the noise on entire image. But in some applications this is not suitable. Using contrast method we perform on small regions where our needed. The clip and block side method we will enhance the image. The contrast should be enhanced in this paper. Here we are used algorithm based on algorithm we should find the quality of the vessel bonding

Image Enhancement technique plays a vital role in digital image processing for making an image to be useful for various applications. This technique is used to improve the quality of degraded images.Usually, the degradation is not evenly spread throughout the image, but most of the time it varies from region to region. Our aim is to first identify the region where enhancement is required and improve that region without disturbing its neighbourhood which does not require any improvement. 


Medical images require image enhancement, a category of image processing which provides better visualization that make diagnostic more accurate. The most commonly used method for improving the quality of medical image is Contrast enhancement.The main objective is to eliminate the use of contrast dye during the process of MRI scan and to find the parameters MSE, PSNR, AMBE and contrast and compare the result. The histogram equalization (HE) is the widely accepted method which is not productive when the contrast nature differs across the image. Adaptive Histogram Equalization (AHE) overcomes this limitation by considering and developing the mapping for each pixel from the histogram in a neighboring window. Another suitable technique is CLAHE. CLAHE is a refinement of AHE where the enhancement calculation is modified by imposing a user specified level to the height of local histogram. The enhancement is thereby reduced in very uniform areas of the image, which prevents over enhancement of noise and reduces the edge shadowing effect of unlimited AHE. After enhancing the image using AHE and CLAHE the comparison of their parameters is performed.

Image enhancement (IE) is very important in the field where visual appearance of an image is the main. Image enhancement is the process of improving the image in such a way that the resulting or output image is more suitable than the original image for specific task. With the help of image enhancement process the quality of image can be improved to get good quality images so that they can be clear for human perception or for the further analysis done by machines.Image enhancement method enhances the quality, visual appearance, improves clarity of images, removes blurring and noise, increases contrast and reveals details. The aim of this paper is to study and determine limitations of the existing IE techniques. This paper will provide an overview of different IE techniques commonly used. We Applied DWT on original RGB image then we applied FHE (Fuzzy Histogram Equalization) after DWT we have done the wavelet shrinkage on Three bands (LH, HL, HH). After that we fuse the shrinkage image and FHE image together and we get the enhance image.


The mortality rate is increasing among the growing population and one of the leading causes is lung cancer. Early diagnosis is required to decrease the number of deaths and increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. With the advancements in the medical field and its technologies CAD system has played a significant role to detect the early symptoms in the patients which cannot be carried out manually without any error in it. CAD is detection system which has combined the machine learning algorithms with image processing using computer vision. In this research a novel approach to CAD system is presented to detect lung cancer using image processing techniques and classifying the detected nodules by CNN approach. The proposed method has taken CT scan image as input image and different image processing techniques such as histogram equalization, segmentation, morphological operations and feature extraction have been performed on it. A CNN based classifier is trained to classify the nodules as cancerous or non-cancerous. The performance of the system is evaluated in the terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy

Image enhancement is a quantifying criterion for sharpening and enhancing image quality, where many techniques are empirical with interactive procedures to obtain précised results. The proposed Intensity Histogram Equalization (IHE) approach conquers the noise defects that has a preprocessor to remove noise and enhances image contrast, providing ways to improve the intensity of the image. The preprocessor has the mask production, enlightenment equalization and color normalization for efficient processing of the images which generates a binary image by labeling pixels, overcomes the non-uniform illumination of image and classifies color capacity, respectively. The distinct and discrete mapping function calculates the histogram values and improves the contrast of the image. The performance of IHE is based on noise removal ratio, reliability rate, false positive error measure, Max-Flow Computational Complexity Measure with NDRA and Variation HOD. As the outcome, the different levels of contrast have been significantly improved when evaluated against with the existing systems.
