In this paper, we represent a novel method of spectrum enhancement for color and gray-scale images which were received under complex luminance and have dark or/and bright areas. Classical retinex algorithm permits to normalize dark areas and gives a result image with a large contract values especially for grey-scale images that does not satisfy a perceptive observer. Our Enhanced Multi-Scale Retinex (EMSR) algorithm is based on an adaptive equalization of spectral ranges not only in dark areas of image but also in bright areas simultaneously. We built a special function which stretches the spectral ranges with low and high values of intensity but reduces the spectral ranges with middle values. Also a method of image improvement after the EMSR algorithm application based on empirical dependences was designed and has shown better visual results as compared with existing filters.
