Adaptive clip-limit-based bi-histogram equalization algorithm for infrared image enhancement

Abstract: Infrared (IR) images are basically low-contrast in nature; hence, it is essential to enhance the contrast of IR images to facilitate real-life applications. This work proposes a novel adaptive clip-limit-oriented bi-histogram equalization (bi-HE) method for enhancing IR images. HE methods are simple in implementation but often cause over-enhancement due to the presence of long spikes. To reduce long spikes, this work suggests to apply a log-power operation on the histogram, where the log operation reduces the … Show more

“…In image processing, general arithmetic operations are not suitable for some actual image processing work, and the result obtained by directly adding (or multiplying) two images has a certain gap with the human visual effect, and will produce "hyper-interval value" problem, the LIP model provides a new arithmetic construct that defines new vector operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. The gray values of the images applied with this model are all in the (0, M) interval, so as to avoid the problem of exceeding the interval value, which is also consistent with the saturation characteristics of the human visual system [11].…”

“…Therefore, this article proposes a joint training of local alignment submodules and feature based editing submodules to solve such problems. The literature proposes a platform value adaptive ADPHE algorithm that utilizes gray and local maximum prediction to calculate the value of the platform in all situations, enabling the algorithm to adapt to the situation and achieve adaptive selection and real-time updates of platform values (Paul et al 2020). However, the ADPHE algorithm is still not incremental.…”

“…However, the major drawback of this method is losing the originality of image, loss of image information, over enhancement of brightness as well as the contrast and amplified the noise from the original image. Many attempts done by researchers to reduce the HE drawback by introducing several methods such as adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) [12], contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) [13], brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization [14], sub-image histogram equalization method [15], recursive mean separate histogram equalization [16] and bi-histogram equalization [17].…”
