Abstract

Image enhancement is usually necessary to support human visual perception. The results of enhancement, however, do not satisfy the demands of the observers in many situations. To find a solution, one needs to find a new cognitive framework for initial image understanding that enables us to explain human subjectivity in a sophisticated way. We mainly focus on the communicative model of image understanding as a psychological answer to image understanding. The results of a prototype for subjective image enhancement are also presented
