Optimal Contrast Enhancement for Remote Sensing ImagesAM Publications
This paper presents an optimal contrast enhancement approach for remote sensing images based on dominant brightness
level analysis and adaptive intensity transformation for remote sensing images. The proposed system first perform discrete wavelet
transform (DWT) on the input images and then split the LL sub band into low-, middle-, and high-intensity layers using the logaverage
luminance. The knee transfer function and the gamma adjustment function based on the dominant brightness level of each
layer are used to compute the adaptive intensity transfer functions. Then a sparse representation technique is added to gain more
resolution. After this transformation, the resulting optimally contrast enhanced image is obtained by using the inverse DWT. The
various histogram equalization approaches proposed in the literature, degrade the overall quality of image by altering the saturation
in low- and high-intensity regions, and also will not give optimal contrast enhancement. The proposed algorithm overcomes this
problem by optimally enhancing the contrast and also the resolution of the input image. The proposed algorithm enhances the overall
contrast and visibility of local details better than existing techniques and also gives optimal contrast. The proposed method can
optimally enhance any low-contrast satellite images and are also suitable for other various imaging devices such as consumer digital cameras, photorealistic 3-D reconstruction systems, and computational cameras.

Medical image fusion is the process of registering and combining multiple images from single or multiple imaging modalities to improve the imaging quality and reduce randomness and redundancy in order to increase the clinical applicability of medical images for diagnosis and assessment of medical problems. Multimodal medical image fusion algorithms and devices have shown notable achievements in improving clinical accuracy of decisions based on medical images. The domain where image fusion is readily used nowadays is in medical diagnostics to fuse medical images such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MRA. This paper aims to present a new algorithm to improve the quality of multimodality medical image fusion using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach. Discrete Wavelet transform has been implemented using different fusion techniques including pixel averaging, maximum minimum and minimum maximum methods for medical image fusion. Performance of fusion is calculated on the basis of PSNR, MSE and the total processing time and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of fusion scheme based on wavelet transform.

QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF PIXEL-LEVEL IMAGE FUSION USING FUZZY LOGICijsc
Image fusion is to reduce uncertainty and minimize redundancy in the output while maximizing relevant information from two or more images of a scene into a single composite image that is more informative and is more suitable for visual perception or processing tasks like medical imaging, remote sensing, concealed weapon detection, weather forecasting, biometrics etc. Image fusion combines registered images to
produce a high quality fused image with spatial and spectral information. The fused image with more information will improve the performance of image analysis algorithms used in different applications. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy logic method to fuse images from different sensors, in order to enhance the
quality and compared proposed method with two other methods i.e. image fusion using wavelet transform and weighted average discrete wavelet transform based image fusion using genetic algorithm (here onwards abbreviated as GA) along with quality evaluation parameters image quality index (IQI), mutual
information measure ( MIM), root mean square error (RMSE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), fusion factor (FF), fusion symmetry (FS) and fusion index (FI) and entropy. The results obtained from proposed fuzzy based image fusion approach improves quality of fused image as compared to earlier reported
methods, wavelet transform based image fusion and weighted average discrete wavelet transform based
image fusion using genetic algorithm.
Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms and Estimation of Optimal Segmentation ...Pinaki Ranjan Sarkar
Recent advancement in sensor technology allows very high spatial resolution along with multiple spectral bands. There are many studies, which highlight that Object Based Image Analysis(OBIA) is more accurate than pixel-based classification for high resolution(< 2m) imagery. Image segmentation is a crucial step for OBIA and it is a very formidable task to estimate optimal parameters for segmentation as it does not have any unique solution. In this paper, we have studied different segmentation algorithms (both mono-scale and multi-scale) for different terrain categories and showed how the segmented output depends on upon various parameters. Later, we have introduced a novel method to estimate optimal segmentation parameters. The main objectives of this study are to highlight the effectiveness of presently available segmentation techniques on very high-resolution satellite data and to automate segmentation process. Pre-estimation of segmentation parameter is more practical and efficient in OBIA. Assessment of segmentation algorithms and estimation of segmentation parameters are examined based on the very high-resolution multi-spectral WorldView-3(0.3m, PAN sharpened) data.

Image Enhancement using Guided Filter for under Exposed ImagesDr. Amarjeet Singh
Image enhancement becomes an important step to
improve the quality of image and change in the appearance of
the image in such a way that either a human or a machine can
fetch certain information from the image after a change. Due
to low contrast images it becomes very difficult to get any
information out of it. In today’s digital world of imaging
image enhancement is a very useful in various applications
ranging from electronics printing to recognition. For highly
underexposed region, intensity bin are present in darken
region that’s by such images lacks in saturation and suffers
from low intensity. Power law transformation provides
solution to this problem. It enhances the brightness so as
image at least becomes visible. To modify the intensity level
histogram equalization can be used. In this we can apply
cumulative density function and probabilistic density function
so as to divide the image into sub images.
In proposed approach to provide betterment in
results guided filter has been applied to images after
equalization so that we can get better Entropy rate and
Coefficient of correlation can be improved with previously
available techniques. The guided filter is derived from local
linear model. The guided filter computes the filtering output
by considering the content of guidance image, which can be
the image itself or other targeted image.

The quality of image holds importance for both humans and machines. To fulfill the requirement of good quality images, image enhancement is needed. Application of a single contrast enhancement technique often does not produce desirable result and may lead to over enhanced images. To overcome this problem image fusion is performed so that better results with desired enhancement can be achieved. In the present paper an amalgamation of image enhancement, fusion and sharpening have been carried out in the candidate algorithm. The algorithm makes use of fuzzy logic for weight calculation. The results are compared with DACE/LIF approach and it is observed that the proposed algorithm improves the result in terms of quality parameters like PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), AMBE (Absolute Mean Brightness Error) and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) by 0.5 dB, 3 and 0.1 respectively from the existing technique.

Enhancement of Medical Images using Histogram Based Hybrid TechniqueINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Digital Image Processing is very important area of research. A number of techniques are available for image enhancement of gray scale images as well as color images. They work very efficiently for enhancement of the gray scale as well as color images. Important techniques namely Histogram Equalization, BBHE, RSWHE, RSWHE (recursion=2, gamma=No), AGCWD (Recursion=0, gamma=0) have been used quite frequently for image enhancement. But there are some shortcomings of the present techniques. The major shortcoming is that while enhancement, the brightness of the image deteriorates quite a lot. So there was need for some technique for image enhancement so that while enhancement was done, the brightness of the images does not go down. To remove this shortcoming, a new hybrid technique namely RESWHE+AGCWD (recursion=2, gamma=0 or 1) was proposed. The results of the proposed technique were compared with the existing techniques. In the present methodology, the brightness did not decrease during image enhancement. So the results and the technique was validated and accepted. The parameters via PSNR, MSE, AMBE etc. are taken for performance evaluation and validation of the proposed technique against the existing techniques which results in better outperform.

COLOUR BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING HYBRID KMEANS WITH WATERSHED SEGMENTATIONIAEME Publication
Image processing, arbitrarily manipulating an image to achieve an aesthetic standard or to support a preferred reality. The objective of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. Image segmentation can be done using thresholding, color space segmentation, k-means clustering.
Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data. In this paper proposed hybrid k-means with watershed segmentation algorithm is used segment the images. Filtering techniques is used as noise filtration method to improve the results and PSNR, MSE performance parameters has been calculated and shows the level of accuracy

The document discusses various image enhancement techniques using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) methods. It analyzes existing image enhancement and super-resolution methods and identifies issues like loss of pixels and difficulty determining the best technique. The research aims to propose a comparative analysis of commonly used super-resolution techniques in the wavelet domain. Techniques like wavelet zero padding, stationary wavelet transform, discrete wavelet transform, and dual tree complex wavelet transform are described and their performance is compared by calculating PSNR values of output images from different techniques processed through MATLAB. Experimental results on various benchmark images show that discrete wavelet transform combined with interpolation methods generates higher PSNR values, meaning better quality enhanced images.

This document discusses optimal selection of binary codes for pulse compression in surveillance radar. It describes how pulse compression allows radar to achieve high range resolution while maintaining high signal energy by modulating a long pulse. Binary phase coding is discussed as a method for pulse compression where a long pulse is divided into sub-pulses that are coded with either 0 or pi phase shifts according to a binary sequence. The autocorrelation properties of different binary codes impact the performance of pulse compression radar. The document aims to compare binary codes through simulation of their autocorrelation functions to identify the most optimal code for surveillance applications.
This document discusses an audio watermarking technique that embeds watermarks in the least significant bits of audio samples using bitwise XOR. It involves sampling an audio signal, embedding the binary bits of a watermark message by XORing them with audio sample bits, and applying an adjustment method to improve accuracy. The adjustment chooses a value close to the original sample while keeping the watermark bit. The watermark is extracted using bitwise XOR of the watermarked and original samples. An analysis compares the technique with and without adjustment based on mean squared error between original and watermarked signals, showing adjustment reduces error.

Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data. In this paper proposed hybrid k-means with watershed segmentation algorithm is used segment the images. Filtering techniques is used as noise filtration method to improve the results and PSNR, MSE performance parameters has been calculated and shows the level of accuracy
IRJET- Image Enhancement using Various Discrete Wavelet Transformation Fi...IRJET Journal
The document discusses various image enhancement techniques using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) methods. It analyzes existing image enhancement and super-resolution methods and identifies issues like loss of pixels and difficulty determining the best technique. The research aims to propose a comparative analysis of commonly used super-resolution techniques in the wavelet domain. Techniques like wavelet zero padding, stationary wavelet transform, discrete wavelet transform, and dual tree complex wavelet transform are described and their performance is compared by calculating PSNR values of output images from different techniques processed through MATLAB. Experimental results on various benchmark images show that discrete wavelet transform combined with interpolation methods generates higher PSNR values, meaning better quality enhanced images.

The document presents a method for contrast enhancement of gray level and color images using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). It begins with an introduction to common contrast enhancement techniques like general histogram equalization (GHE) and their limitations. The proposed method first applies GHE, then uses DWT to decompose the input image into subbands. It calculates a correction coefficient using the LL subbands and SVD. It multiplies this to the input image LL subband to generate a new LL subband. After recombining the subbands using inverse DWT, it yields an output image with enhanced contrast and brightness, without affecting color. Experimental results on sample images show improved mean, standard deviation and P

This document compares the performance of image restoration techniques in the time and frequency domains. It proposes a new algorithm to denoise images corrupted by salt and pepper noise. The algorithm replaces noisy pixel values within a 3x3 window with a weighted median based on neighboring pixels. It applies filters like CLAHE, average, Wiener and median filtering before the proposed algorithm to further remove noise. Experimental results on test images show the proposed method achieves better noise removal compared to other techniques, with around a 60% increase in PSNR and 90% reduction in MSE. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm is effective at restoring images with high density salt and pepper noise.
This paper discusses techniques for digital image processing, including noise reduction, edge detection, and histogram equalization. Noise reduction techniques discussed include mean, Gaussian, and median filters to remove salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. Edge detection algorithms like Sobel and Laplacian are introduced to reduce image data while preserving object boundaries. Histogram equalization is used for image enhancement by spreading pixel values across the full intensity range for increased contrast. The goal is recognizing objects in images through these preprocessing steps.
An Efficient Approach of Segmentation and Blind Deconvolution in Image Restor...iosrjce
This paper introduces the concept of Blind Deconvolution for restoration of a digital image and
small segments of a single image that has been degraded due to some noise. Concept of Image Restoration is
used in various areas like in Robotics to take decision, Biomedical research for analysis of tissues, cells and
cellular constituents etc. Segmentation is used to divide an image into multiple meaningful regions. Concept of
segmentation is helpful for restoration of only selected portion of the image hence reduces the complexity of the
system by focusing only on those parts of the image that need to be restored. There exist so many techniques for
the restoration of a degraded image like Wiener filter, Regularized filter, Lucy Richardson algorithm etc. All
these techniques use prior knowledge of blur kernel for restoration process. In Blind Deconvolution technique
Blur kernel initially remains unknown. This paper uses Gaussian low pass filter to convolve an image. Gaussian
low pass filter minimize the problem of ringing effect. Ringing effect occurs in image when transition between
one point to another is not clearly defined. After removing these ringing effects from the restored image,
resultant image will be clear in visibility. The aim of this paper is to provide better algorithm that can be helpful
in removing unwanted features from the image and the quality of the image can be measured in terms of
PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and MSE(Mean Square error). Proposed Technique also works well with
Motion Blur.
This document discusses an efficient approach for image segmentation and blind deconvolution in image restoration. It begins with introducing concepts of image restoration, segmentation, and blind deconvolution. It then presents the proposed methodology which uses Gaussian blurring, segments the blurred image into 9 parts, and applies blind deconvolution to restore each segment. The quality of restored segments is measured using PSNR and MSE. Experimental results on various images show the proposed technique provides better restoration than existing methods, as measured by higher PSNR and lower MSE. In conclusion, blind deconvolution with segmentation effectively restores selected image regions while reducing computational complexity compared to other techniques.
Image fusion is a technique used to integrate a highresolution
panchromatic image with multispectral low-resolution
image to produce a multispectral high-resolution image, that
contains both the spatial information of the panchromatic highresolution
image and the color information of the multispectral
image .Although an increasing number of high-resolution images
are available along with sensor technology development, the
process of image fusion is still a popular and important method to
interpret the image data for obtaining a more suitable image for a
variety of applications, like visual interpretation and digital
classification. To get the complete information from the single
image we need to have a method to fuse the images. In the current
paper we are going to propose a method that uses hybrid of
wavelets for Image fusion.

The images are not always good enough to convey the proper information.
The image may be very bright or very dark sometime or it may be low
contrast or high contrast. Because of these reasons image enhancement plays
important role in digital image processing. In this paper we proposed an
image enhancement technique in which gabor and median filtering is
performed in wavelet domain and adaptive histogram equalization is
performed in spatial domain. Brightness and contrast are the two parameters
Keywords: used for analyzing the performance of the proposed method.
This document reviews techniques for multi-image morphing. It discusses early cross-dissolve morphing methods and their limitations. Mesh warping and field morphing are introduced as improved techniques that use control points and line mappings to better align images during transition. The document also summarizes point distribution, critical point filters, and other common morphing methods. It concludes by noting that effective morphing requires mechanisms for feature specification, warp generation, and transition control.

A MODIFIED HISTOGRAM BASED FAST ENHANCEMENT ALGORITHMcsandit
This document proposes a modified version of the Histogram Based Fast Enhancement Algorithm to improve contrast enhancement of medical images like CT scans. The key modifications are:
1) Calculating the value of k, which determines how many gray levels are ignored, as a ratio of the mean, median, or mode of the histogram rather than a constant value. This makes k adaptive to each image.
2) Applying the modified algorithm to a wide range of CT image types, not just head images, to validate it for more cases.
3) Evaluating the modified algorithm using metrics like PSNR, AMBE, and entropy, as well as visual inspection. Results show the modified algorithm achieves better contrast enhancement

ABSTRACT
Image enhancement is a mean as the
improvement of an image appearance by
increasing dominance of some features or by
decreasing ambiguity between different regions of
the image. Image enhancement processes consist
of a collection of techniques that seek to improve
the visual appearance of an image or to convert
the image to a form better suited for analysis by a
human or machine. Many images such as medical
images, remote sensing images, electron
microscopy images and even real life
photographic pictures, suffer from poor contrast.
Therefore it is necessary to enhance the contrast.
The purpose of image enhancement methods is to
increase image visibility and details. Enhanced
image provide clear image to eyes or assist
feature extraction processing in computer vision
system. Numerous enhancement methods have
been proposed but the enhancement efficiency,
computational requirements, noise amplification,
user intervention, and application suitability are
the common factors to be considered when
choosing from these different methods for specific
image processing application

Histogram Equalization, DWT, BPHE.
INTRODUCTION
Enhancement is simple and most appealing
area among all the digital image processing
techniques. The main purpose of image
enhancement is to bring out detail that is hidden in
an image or to increase contrast in a low contrast
image. Whenever an image is converted from one
form to other such as digitizing the image some
form of degradation occurs at output. Image
enhancement is among the simplest and most
appealing areas of digital image processing.
Basically, the idea behind enhancement techniques
is to bring out detail that is obscured, or simply to
highlight certain features of interest in an image.
Enhanced images provide better contrast of the
details that images contain. Image enhancement is
applied in every field where images are ought to be
understood and analyzed. For example, Medical
Image Analysis, Analysis of images from satellites,
etc. Image enhancement is among the simplest and
most appealing areas of digital imageprocessing.
Basically, the idea behind enhancement techniques
is to bring out detail that is obscured, or simply to
highlight certain features of interest in an image.
Why we are moving towards image
enhancement?
Enhanced images provide better contrast of
the details that images contain. Image enhancement
is applied in every field where images are ought to
be understood and analyzed. For example, Medical
Image Analysis, Analysis of images from satellites,
etc.
There are three types of image enhancement
which are as follows:
a. Spatial domain
Fig 1: Spatial domain
Spatial domain approaches direct information of
pixel in an image. The image processing function
may be expressed as :
G(x,y)=T{f(x,y)}where f(x,y) is the input
image & g(x,y) is the proposed image.
b. Frequency domain
In frequency domain the Fourier transform of an
image is modified. Fourier series: Any function that
periodically repeats itself can be expressed as the
sum of sine‟s /cosines of different frequencies, each
multiplied with a different coefficient. Fourier
Transform: Functions that are not periodic, whose
area under the curve is finite, can be expressed as
the integral of sine‟s and/cosines multiplied by a
weighting function.
c. Transform domain
Transforming image intensity data into specific
domain includes altering high-frequency content of
image. Using discrete cosine, Fourier, and wavelet
transforms
I. MAIN METHODOLOGY
a. Image Negation Method
Now contrast and poor quality are main
problems in the production of medical images.

Medical image enhancement technologies have
attracted much attention since advanced medical
equipment‟s were put into use in the medical field.
Negation method is generally used to enhance the
medical image. Negation of image is nothing but
reversing the intensity levels of an image to produce
the equivalent of photographic negative. This type
of processing is particularly suited for enhancing
white or gray details embedded in dark region of an
image especially when the black areas are dominant
in size. The negative point transformation function
also known as contrast reverse. The negative
transformation shown in fig. is obtained by
following expression, s=L-1-r
Where„s‟ is Output image after transformation
L-1 is Maximum Pixel value
r -is Input Image.
Fig 2: Negative Image graph
b. Histogram Equalization Method (HE)
Histogram equalization is a technique by
which the gray-level distribution of an image is
changed in such a way as to obtain a uniform (flat)
resulting histogram, in which the percentage of
pixels of every gray level is the same. To perform
histogram equalization, it is necessary to use an
auxiliary function, called the transformation
function, T (r). Such transformation function must
satisfy two criteria
1. T (r) must be a monotonically increasing function
in the interval 0 ≤ r ≤ L − 1.
2. 0 ≤ T (r) ≤ L − 1 for 0 ≤ r ≤ L − 1.
The most usual transformation function is the
cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the original
probability mass function, given by Histogram
equalization is used for increasing contrast of an
image. This can be achieved by using histogram
stretching operation [3].
Fig 3: Histogram of Original Image
Fig 4: Histogram of Enhanced Image
Fig.3 shows histogram of original image, when we
apply the Histogram Equalization method we get the
enhanced image. Fig.4 shows stretched histogram of
enhanced image.
C. DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) based
Method
Aerial images captured from aircrafts,
spacecraft‟s, or satellites usually suffer from lack of
clarity, since the atmosphere enclosing Earth has
effects upon the images such as turbidity caused by
haze, fog, clouds or heavy rain. The visibility of
such aerial images may decrease drastically and
sometimes the conditions at which the images are
taken may only lead to near zero visibility even for
the human eyes. Even though human observers may
not see much than smoke, there may exist useful
information in those images taken under such poor
conditions[1].
Recently we use a wavelet-based dynamic
range compression algorithm to improve the visual
quality of digital images captured in the high
dynamic range scenes with no-uniform lighting
conditions. The fast image enhancement algorithm
which provides dynamic range compression
preserving the local contrast and tonal rendition is a
very good candidate in aerial imagery applications
such as image interpretation for defense and In this
paper the latest version of the proposed algorithm
which is able to enhance aerial images so that the
enhanced images are better than direct human
observation, is presented. The results obtained by
applying the algorithm to numerous aerial images
show strong robustness and high image quality.
The proposed enhancement algorithm consists of
three stages. The first and the third stage are applied

in the spatial domain and the second one in the
discrete wavelet domain.

D. BPHE Method (Brightness Preserving Bi
Histogram Equalization):
The Brightness preserving bi histogram
equalization firstly decomposes an input image into
two sub images based on the mean of the input
image. One of the sub image is set of samples less
than or equal to the mean whereas the other one is
the set of samples greater than the mean. Then the
BBHE equalizes the sub images independently
based on their respective histograms with the
constraint that the samples in the formal set are
mapped into the range from the minimum gray level
to the input mean and the samples in the latter set
are mapped into the range from the mean t the
maximum gray level. Means one of the sub images
is equalized over the range up to the mean and the
other sub image is equalized over the range. From
the mean based on the respective histograms .Thus,
the resulting equalized sub images are bounded by
each other around the input mean, which has an
effect of preserving mean brightness[2].

II. QUALITY PARAMETERS
Depending on the parameter value we can determine
in what extent an image is enhanced.
1. The MSE between two images f and g is
denoted by,
𝑀𝑆𝐸 =
1
𝑀𝑁
(𝑓 𝑗, 𝑘 − 𝑔(𝑗, 𝑘))2
𝑗 ,𝑘
Where the sum over j; k denotes the sum over all
pixels in the images, and m is the number of rows, n
is the number of column of each image.
2. The PSNR between two (8 bpp) images is, in
decibels,
𝑃𝑆𝑁𝑅 = 10log
2552
𝑀𝑆𝐸
PSNR tends to be cited more often, since it is a
logarithmic measure, and our brains seem to
respond logarithmically to intensity. Increasing
PSNR represents increasing fidelity of compression.
Generally, when the PSNR is 40 dB or larger, then
the two images are virtually indistinguishable by
human observers.
3. Structural Content (SC)
Structural Content is defined as,
𝑆𝐶 =
𝑀, 𝑁[𝐼1 𝑚, 𝑛 .∗ 𝐼1(𝑚, 𝑛)]
𝑀, 𝑁[𝐼2 𝑚, 𝑛 .∗ 𝐼2(𝑚, 𝑛)]
The large value of Structural Content (SC) means
that image is of poor quality.
4. Average Difference (AD)
Average Difference (AD) is defined as:
𝐴𝐷 =
𝑀, 𝑁[𝐼1 𝑚, 𝑛 − 𝐼1 𝑚, 𝑛 ]
𝑀 ∗ 𝑁
The large value of AD means that the pixel values in
the reconstructed image are more deviated from
actual pixelvalue. Larger value of AD indicates
image is of poor quality.
5. Absolute means brightness error (AMBE):
It is the Difference between original and enhanced
image and is given as
AMBE=E(x)-E(y)
Where E(x)= average intensity of input image
E(y)=average intensity of enhanced image
6. Contrast:
Contrast defines the difference between lowest and
highest intensity level. Higher the value of contrast
means more difference between lowest and highest
intensity level.
