Abstract
At present, the human visual perception system is the most effective, accurate, and fast image processing system in the world. This is because human eyes have some special visual features, but the features closely related to image enhancement include color constancy and brightness constancy. This paper presents a new image enhancement framework and computational model which can better simulate human visual features. It is based on the analysis of color constancy and luminance constancy and Retinex theory. And, this is a new image enhancement method in the compressed domain based on Retinex theory. In Retinex theory, DCT coefficients consist of incident components (DC coefficients) and reflection components (AC coefficients). By adjusting the dynamic range of DC coefficients, carefully adjusting AC coefficients, and using the threshold method for block suppression, the compressed domain image can be enhanced. On the basis of Retinex theory, the incident light and reflected light components are considered synthetically, the dynamic range (DC coefficient) of the incident light component and the details of the reflected light component (AC coefficient) are adjusted, and then the incident light component is reexamined. Moreover, it achieves a better image enhancement effect and avoids the blocking effect.
