A Novel Technique for Automatic Image Enhancement using HTHET Approach

Image enhancement techniques are methods used for producing images with better quality than the original image. None of the existing methods increase the information content of the image, and are usually of little interest for subsequent automatic analysis of images. In this paper, automated Image Enhancement is achieved by carrying out Histogram techniques. Histogram equalization (HE) is a spatial domain image enhancement technique, which effectively enhances the contrast of an image. We make use of Transformation and Hyperbolization techniques for automatic image enhancement. However, while it takes care of contrast enhancement, a modified histogram equalization technique, Histogram Transformation and Hyperbolization Equalization Technique (HTHET) using optimization method is proposed using EQHIST and LINHIST.
