ACE2_FILTER_CVIP

ace2_filter_cvip() - adaptive contrast and enhancement filter.

Contents

SYNTAX

new_image = ace2_filter_cvip( imageP,W, k1,k2)

Input Parameters include :

Output Parameter include :

DESCRIPTION

This function enhances the contrast of the input image imageP with ace2 method.This method scans the whole image with a window of size W.This variable should be an odd integer between 3-11.Local gain factor and the local mean factor are also given as inputs k1 and k2. This is a simplified variation of ACE filter and is less computationally intensive than original ACE filter.It is a spatial-domain method for contrast and dynamic range modifications with less limitation on linear contrast stretching.

EXAMPLE

% Read image

 imageP = imread('kuw.png');

% Filter block size

 W = 11;

% Local gain factor

 k1 = .8;

% Local mean factor

 k2 = 0.5;

% Calling function

  new_image = ace2_filter_cvip( imageP,W, k1,k2);

% Display input image

 figure;imshow(imageP);title('Input Image');

% Display output image

 figure; imshow(new_image/255);title('Output Image');
