Color tograyscale algorithm based on local contrast enhancement in contourlet transform domain
In order to better preserve the local contrast of the original color image and obtain the perceptual accurate grayscale image
a grayscale algorithm based on local contrast enhancement in contourlet transform domain is proposed. Firstly
in CIE Lab space
the conjugate gradient algorithm is used to optimize the objective function to get the global mapping function parameters
and preliminary grayscale image is obtained. Then
the multi-scale and multi-direction decomposition of color image and preliminary grayscale image are carried out by contourlet transform
local chromatic contrast ratio is used to enhance the contrast of directional detail image
and the enhanced detail image is obtained by inverse contourlet transform. Finally
the enhanced detail image is superimposed with the preliminary grayscale image to get the final grayscale image. Experiments on COLOR250 and Čadik database show that the proposed algorithm in this paper is superior to some typical algorithms in the existing literature
which can effectively preserve the contrast and structure information of the original image. The visual perception is natural for the grayscale image
whose subjectivity and objective evaluations are optimal.
