The plateau equalization algorithm for display of IR images is defined to include histogram equalization and histogram projection as special cases. A maximum gain parameter is defined and surveyed for a large number of images, determining the useful range of plateau values. Analysis of hardware experience with histogram projection explains why it produces intensity jitter in very low contrast scenes. Detailed flow charts for hardware implementation of plateau equalization are provided.

2) the sum of the mean function and the amplitudewith phasefunction. However, if the physics of the problem of interest i s understood so that modeling one or both of the smooth functions with as few coefficients is possible, a generalization of Ksienski's algorithm using least squares to minimize with respect to the known functions could be much more accurate and effective.
