An Efficient Enhancement Technique for Infrared Images
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper presents an efficient technique for enhancement of infrared (IR) images. It modifies the local luminance mean of an IR image and controls the local contrast as a function of the local luminance mean of the image. The technique first separates an image into both its low-pass and high-pass filtered form components. The low-pass component then controls the amplitude of the high-pass component to increase the local contrast. The low-pass component is then subjected to a non-linearity to modify the local luminance mean of the image and is combined with the processed high-pass component. The performance of this technique when applied to IR images shows good enhancement compared with the other traditional enhancement techniques.
