Abstract

An adaptive geometric filter approach based on average brightness of the image and discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient adjustment is proposed in this paper for gray and color image enhancement. Adaptive geometric filter is employed for smoothing the histogram peaks before histogram equalization and DCT coefficient adjustment is applied for enhancing the fine details of the image. The proposed method is compared with the state-of-the-art other contrast enhancement techniques. Experimental results show that proposed technique exceeds the other compared methods both visually and quantitatively. Three metrics are evaluated for numerical assessment that are entropy, quality index and measure of enhancement (EME). Also color quality enhancement metric is tested for color images. After thorough study, it is concluded that our method intensifies the image contrast very well and also preserves the original characteristics of the input images.
