• Image processing is the form of signal processing in which image is given as input
and output is become either an image or set of characteristics related to image.
• Image processing involves the processing of image such as altering, enhancement,
compressing etc the existing image.
• Image processing is a method to convert an image into digital form and perform
some operations on it, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful
information from it.
Image processing is of two types:
 Analog image processing: Analog image processing is done on analog signals.
 Digital image processing:
The digital image processing deals with developing a digital system that performs o
perations on an digital image.

It is motivated by two major applications
 Improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation
 Image processing for autonomous machine applications
 Efficient Storage and transmission
Digital Image: A digital image is a representation of a two dimensional image as a
finite set of digital values, called picture elements or pixels.

5.
Some of the major fields in which digital image
processing is widely used are mentioned below
 Image sharpening and restoration
 Medical field
 Remote sensing
 Transmission and encoding
 Machine/Robot vision
 Color processing
 Pattern recognition
 Video processing
 Microscopic Imaging

 Image Enhancement is the process of manipulating an image so that the result is
more suitable than the original for a specific application.
 Image enhancement refers to accentuation, or sharpening of image features such as
edges, boundaries, or contrast to make a graphic display more useful for display and
analysis.
 Image enhancement is used to improve the quality of an image for visual perception
of human beings.
 Types of Image Enhancement Techniques:
Image enhancement techniques can be divided into two broad categories:
 1. Spatial domain techniques, which operate directly on pixels.
 2. Frequency domain techniques, which operate on the Fourier transform of an
image.

7.
Some of the areas in which Image Enhancement has wide application are noted
below.
 In atmospheric sciences, Image Enhancement is used to reduce the effects of haze,
fog, and turbulent weather for meteorological observations
 In forensics, Image Enhancement is used for identification, evidence gathering and
surveillance.
 Astrophotography faces challenges due to light and noise pollution that can be
minimized by Image Enhancement.
 In oceanography the study of images reveals interesting features of water flow,
sediment concentration, geomorphology and bathymetric patterns to name a few.

skies with or without clouds without introducing artifacts.
6 2014 S.C.F. Lina AVHEQ(Averaging
Histogram Equalization)
This technique is able to produce contrast enhanced images that are more
desirable than current available methods in terms of brightness
preservation, increased information content, object gradient sharpness and
global contrast.

 Generally image enhancement techniques not able
to preserve Image brightness.
 Some techniques are unable to recover information
from the dark areas of images.
 In the some method the process of calculating the
pixel difference some values are rejected which
could be important data.
My aim to resolve these problems in Image
Enhancement techniques.

Image enhancement is very interesting field of
image processing.
1) The main objective of Image enhancement is to modify
attributes of an image and the choice of attributes and the way
they modify are specific to given task.
2) Images are stored in standard database and Enhanced image
from standard database.
3) Comparing of different technique of image enhancement and
then Choosing the best technique for specific task.

MATLAB has been used.

The Image enhancement plays important role in image
processing. I have been taken survey on various
techniques of image enhancement. Some of the image
enhancement techniques does not provide better results
in multiple light sources. Most of the techniques are
useful for altering the gray level values of individual
pixels and hence the overall contrast of the entire image.
But they usually enhance the whole image in a uniform
manner which in many cases produces undesirable
results. I will compare results of discussed techniques
and choose a better technique for specific task.
