Description

Image Contrast Enhancement Using Color and Depth Histograms. In this letter, we propose a new global contrast enhancement algorithm using the histograms of color and depth images. On the basis of the histogram-modification framework, < Final Year Projects > the color and depth image histograms are first partitioned into sub-intervals using the Gaussian mixture model. The positions partitioning the color histogram are then adjusted such that spatially neighboring pixels with the similar intensity and depth values can be grouped into the same sub-interval. By estimating the mapping curve of the contrast enhancement for each sub-interval, the global image contrast can be improved without over-enhancing the local image contrast. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
