In order to improve contrast and restore color for underwater image captured by camera sensors without suffering from insufficient details and color cast, a fusion algorithm for image enhancement in different color spaces based on contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is proposed in this article. The original color image is first converted from RGB color space to two different special color spaces: YIQ and HSI. The color space conversion from RGB to YIQ is a linear transformation, while the RGB to HSI conversion is nonlinear. Then, the algorithm separately operates CLAHE in YIQ and HSI color spaces to obtain two different enhancement images. The luminance component (Y) in the YIQ color space and the intensity component (I) in the HSI color space are enhanced with CLAHE algorithm. The CLAHE has two key parameters: Block Size and Clip Limit, which mainly control the quality of CLAHE enhancement image. After that, the YIQ and HSI enhancement images are respectively converted backward to RGB color. When the three components of red, green, and blue are not coherent in the YIQ-RGB or HSI-RGB images, the three components will have to be harmonized with the CLAHE algorithm in RGB space. Finally, with 4 direction Sobel edge detector in the bounded general logarithm ratio operation, a self-adaptive weight selection nonlinear image enhancement is carried out to fuse YIQ-RGB and HSI-RGB images together to achieve the final fused image. The enhancement fusion algorithm has two key factors: average of Sobel edge detector and fusion coefficient, and these two factors determine the effects of enhancement fusion algorithm. A series of evaluate metrics such as mean, contrast, entropy, colorfulness metric (CM), mean square error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) are used to assess the proposed enhancement algorithm. The experiments results showed that the proposed algorithm provides more detail enhancement and higher values of colorfulness restoration as compared to other existing image enhancement algorithms. The proposed algorithm can suppress effectively noise interference, improve the image quality for underwater image availably.

The lack of resource requirement in this population world, we are in a position to require another resources. In this regard, ocean is one of our sustenance. It is the exact platform for various applications like, transport, food, energy etc., but still we are surveyed partly at all aspects. One of the main focus of challenge is scattering of light as it penetrate from air to water which presents us with a bluish background while studying the scenery. In this, added to this there is a hazy appearance in the visuals and calls for Image Enhancement techniques. Here, Dark Channel Prior(DCP) is used to remove the haze and noise induced by the bluish environment. However, this proposal of method is also used to increase darkness of the image, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is used on the RGB image to enhance the contrast and intensity of the image. Finally, we get visually pleasing result, colour correlation method is carried out. The experimental result shows that a enhanced underwater image from the base image, and mostly useful to analyze and monitoring the underwater images.

Image processing dapat diterapkan dalam proses deteksi embrio telur. Proses deteksi embrio telur dilakukan dengan menggunakan proses segmentasi, yang membagi citra sesuai dengan daerah yang dibagi. Proses ini memerlukan perbaikan citra yang diproses untuk memperoleh hasil optimal. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis deteksi embrio telur berdasarkan image processing dengan image enhancement dan konsep segmentasi menggunakan metode watershed transform. Image enhacement pada preprocessing dalam perbaikan citra menggunakan kombinasi metode Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) dan Histogram Equalization (HE). Citra grayscale telur diperbaiki dengan menggunakan metode CLAHE, dan hasilnya diproses kembali dengan menggunakan HE. Hasil perbaikan citra menunjukkan bahwa metode kombinasi CLAHE-HE memberikan gambar secara jelas daerah objek citra telur yang memiliki embrio. Proses segmentasi dengan menggunakan konversi citra ke citra hitam putih dan segmentasi watershed mampu menunjukkan secara jelas objek telur ayam yang memiliki embrio. Hasil segmentasi mampu membagi daerah telur memiliki embrio secara nyata dan akurat dengan persentase sebesar  » 98%.

Special Environment

For the low illumination and low contrast in the coal mine, images captured from the video monitor system sometimes are not so clear to help the related personal monitoring the production and safety of the mine. According to the special environment of coal mine, an image enhancement method was presented. In this method the impulse noise which is the mainly noise in the coal mine was first reduced with median filtering, then the low contrast and illumination was greatly improved with the improved adaptive histogram equalization. Experiments show that this method can improve the quality of images underground effectively.
