Night image enhancement based on pixel level adaptive image fusion
such as low brightness and most of the image details concentrating in the low gray range
a night image enhancement method based on pixel level adaptive fusion is proposed. Firstly
a high pass filter is used to filter most of the dark background information of the image
so as to enhance the gray details of each region of the image. Then
the filtered image is fused with the original image in the way of pixel level weighting adaptively. The two weights of each pixel
in filtered image and original image respectively
depend on two distances:one is the distance between the pixel value and the target fuzzy set
and the other is the distance between the pixel value and the background fuzzy set. If the pixel value is closer to the target fuzzy set
the weight of the filter image is increased and the weight of the original image is reduced
correspondingly. If the pixel value is closer to the background fuzzy set
the case is the opposite. In this way
the global contrast of the image is further enhanced and the visual effect is improved. Experimental results indicate that the night image enhanced has been improved significantly in both gray detail and global contras. The processing time is less than 10 ms in the hardware environment of CPU with the main frequency of 3.0 GHz for 320×256 resolution gray scale images. The quality of the degraded night image has been improved greatly
and its good real-time performance can meet the needs of the engineering application better.
