This paper proposes a method for improving saturation in the context of hue-preserving color image enhancement. The proposed method handles colors in an RGB color space, which has the form of a cube, and enhances the contrast of a given image by histogram manipulation, such as histogram equalization and histogram specification, of the intensity image. Then, the color corresponding to a target intensity is determined in a hue-preserving manner, where a gamut problem should be taken into account. We first project any color onto a surface in the RGB color space, which bisects the RGB color cube, to increase the saturation without a gamut problem. Then, we adjust the intensity of the saturation-enhanced color to the target intensity given by the histogram manipulation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher saturation than that given by related methods for hue-preserving color image enhancement.

There are many color systems. Some systems are correspond to the human visual system, such as the Munsell color system. Other systems are formulated to ease data processing in machines, such as RGB color space. At first, Munsell color system is introduced in this paper. Next, RGB color system and hue-saturation-intensity (HSI) color system which is derived from RGB color systems are reviewed. HSI color system is important, because HSI color system is closely related to Munsell color system. We introduce the advantage and drawbacks of the conventional HSI color space. Furthermore, the improved HSI color system is introduced. The second half of this paper, we introduce a lot of color image enhancement methods based on the histogram equalization or the differential histogram equalization. Since hue preserving is necessary for color image processing, intensity processing methods by using both intensity and saturation in HSI color space are reviewed. Finally, hue preserving color image enhancement methods in RGB color system are explained.

The three components of the color images enhance the images directly in the RGB color space, will cause distortion of the image. So our paper will convert true color image from RGB space to YIQ space, the holomorphic filtering and histogram equalization are executed on Y component to make the image enhancement, the Y component contains a lot of image information; finally, the image is converted from YIQ color space to RGB color space once again. Experimental results show that the approach which were proposed in the paper, Combined with the method of holomorphic filtering and histogram equalization to overcome the uneven illumination, the image is dark and other shortcomings to achieve satisfactory enhancement.

Contrast enhancement has an important role in image processing applications. This paper presents a color enhancement algorithm based on adaptive filter technique. First, the proposed method is divided into three major parts: obtain luminance image and backdrop image, adaptive modification and color restoration. different traditional color image enhancement algorithms, the adaptive filter in the algorithm takes color information into consideration. The algorithm finds the significance of color information in color image enhancement and utilizes color space conversion to obtain a much better visibility. In the practical results, the proposed method reproduces better enhancement and reduce the halo distortion compared with the bilateral  methods.
