Contrast enhancement is considered as one of the interesting as well as the visually appealing technique used for enhancement of contrast of an image. It is involved in the area of image processing where several operations such as enhancing contrast, reduction of noise for improved quality of the images are measured. There is a number of contrast enhancement techniques are available and proposed by several researchers. Considering, this paper provided a survey of different contrast enhancement such as HE, BBHE, DSIHE, MMBEBHE, RMSHE, MHE, BPDHE and LCS and Low pass and High pass filtering techniques.
