Abstract :
A smart contrast enhancement technique, dynamic histogram equalization (DHE), is proposed. It takes control over traditional histogram equalization for appropriate contrast enhancement of images without introducing any severe side affects such as washed out appearance, over-enhancement of some features and noises, checkerboard effects etc.
