An Adaptive Dynamic Range Compression with Local Contrast Enhancement Algorithm for Color Image Enhancement

[[abstract]]This study addresses the design of an adaptive dynamic range compression algorithm for color image enhancement. To achieve this purpose, a novel image-dependent nonlinear intensity-transfer function is first proposed to produce a satisfactory dynamic-range compression result with less color artifacts. The proposed algorithm is then derived by combining the proposed adaptive nonlinear intensity-transfer function with an efficient local contrast enhancement algorithm. Experimental results validate that the proposed method provides better visual representation in comparison with an existing color image enhancement method.[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20121130~20121202[[booktype]]電子版[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]Yunlin, Taiwa
