Abstract :
A simple image enhancement technique based upon evolvable hardware is presented. Improving visual appearance is achieved by evolved histogram stretching transformation (evolved circuit). The performance is compared with the classical histogram equalization method using traditional measures of enhancement. Experimental results will be presented to show that the proposed technique offers better performance than the classical histogram equalization method.
