Abstract

One of the important techniques in digital image processing is to enhance images. Contrast enhancement is a method that is used to enhance images for viewing process or for further analysis of images. Main idea behind contrast enhancement techniques is to increase contrast and to preserve original brightness of images. In this paper a contrast enhancement technique is proposed that first segments histogram of image recursively and then applies Adaptive Gamma Correction with Weighting Distribution (AGCWD) Technique. The proposed technique is basically an improvement over AGCWD technique and aims to get better contrast enhancement and brightness preservation than AGCWD technique.
