Conversion of rgb to labl for lightness and a and b for the color opponents greenred and blueyellow will do the work. Contrast enhancement limit, specified as a number in the range 0, 1. It differs from ordinary histogram equalization in the respect that the adaptive method computes several histograms, each corresponding to a distinct section of the image, and uses them to redistribute the lightness values of the image. The histogram of an image shows the frequency of pixels intensity values. It may be worth trying an implementation based on perreault, s. Looking for online definition of clahe or what clahe stands for. Public member functions inherited from cvalgorithm. So to solve this problem, adaptive histogram equalization is used.

A variant of adaptive histogram equalization called contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization clahe prevents this by limiting the amplification. Clahe contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization. These areas are characterized by a high peak in the histogram of the particular image tile due to many pixels falling inside the same gray level range.

Another good approach is using sliding window adaptive histogram equalization swahe where we slide the window one pixel at a time and incrementally update the histogram for each pixel. Here is the result of a clahe equalization clip limit 32 on the original image. Contrast enhancement algorithms have been evolved through last decades to meet the requirement of its objectives. Histogram equalization improves the contrast of an image, in order to stretch out the intensty range. The filter respects the selected regions of interest and triggers an undostep.
