ABSTRACT

In previous chapters we discussed image filters. The filter enhances

the quality of image so that important details can be visualized and

quantified. In this chapter, we discuss a few more image enhancement

techniques. These techniques transform the pixel values in the input

image to a new value in the output image using a mapping function.

We discuss logarithmic transformation, power law transformation, im-

age inverse, histogram equalization, and contrast stretching. For more

information on image enhancement refer to [37],[71],[74].
