Abstract

The various image enhancement techniques are used as a preprocessing step in the image processing task to make the image more productive to be processed in the computer. In this work, the brief study of the various image enhancement methods like Histogram Equalization, Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization is done. These techniques are verified based on MATLAB an image processing toolbox along with their corresponding images and histograms. Different techniques have their own pros and cons so here the juxtaposition of the various methods have been done along with the calculation of the different image parameters like - Standard Deviation, Mean, Mode, Medians, Mean Squared Error for these enhancement techniques.
