Description
Summary:Piecewise histogram equalization(Piecewise HE) was proposed,which combines the benefits of contrast stretching and existing histogram equalization.The swallow of saturation and brightness is avoided in the enhanced image by a piecewise linear mapping function,which combines with the mean and standard deviation of the histogram,and the parameters selection of Piecewise HE is explored when over-enhancement existed.The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method can enhance the images effectively,which avoids the swallow and over-enhancement problems of the existing histogram equalization methods.The proposed method not only preserves the original details,but also has a more natural visual effect in the enhanced image.
