Nonlinear technique for the enhancement of extremely high contrast images (Proceedings Paper)

An adaptive technique for image enhancement based on a specifically designed nonlinear function is presented in this paper. The enhancement technique constitutes three main processes-adaptive intensity enhancement, contrast adjustment, and color restoration. A sine function with an image dependent parameter is used to tune the intensity of each pixel in the luminance image. This process provides dynamic range compression by boosting the luminance of darker pixels while reducing the intensity of brighter
