Method of infrared image enhancement based on histogram

Aiming at the problem in infrared image enhancement,a new method is given based on histogram.Using the gray characteristics of target,the upper-bound threshold is selected adaptively and the histogram is processed by the threshold.After choosing the gray transform function based on the gray level distribution of image,the gray transformation is done during histogram equalization.Finally,the enhanced image is obtained.Compared with histogram equalization(HE),histogram double equalization(HDE) and plateau histogram equalization(PE),the simulation results demonstrate that the image enhancement effect of this method has obvious superiority.At the same time,its operation speed is fast and real-time ability is excellent.
