Abstract
In this paper, a new automatic histogram equalization algorithm which is based on Bi-Histogram Equalization (BHE) is proposed. The proposed method preserves the brightness and also improves the contrast. Mean value of the intensity is used for selecting the thresholds to avoid over enhancement also improving contrast of the image. The calculated mean limits the valley points to divide the histogram into small parts which guarantee equal input and output mean brightness. In addition, normalization of image brightness is applied to assure less Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE). The performances of proposed algorithm, Global Histogram equalization algorithm and Bi-Histogram equalization algorithm are measured by calculating another validity parameter called Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). The proposed method confirms the improvement in qualitative parameters as compared with the other two algorithms considered.
