The traditional image sharpness enhancement algorithm faces several defects, namely, the lack of details, and the poor subjective effect. To solve these defects, this paper proposes an image sharpness enhancement algorithm based on the Green function. Specifically, the Retinex model was employed to ensure that the enhanced image has outstanding details, and the Poisson’s equation was solved to maintain the consistency between the enhanced image and the original image in the gradient domain. Then, adaptive brightness mapping was carried out to determine the boundary conditions suitable for display, and the boundary of the region was sampled to reduce the complexity of our algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm improved the contrast and sharpness of images from the levels of contrastive image enhancement algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
