Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, the image enhancement effect of the above-mentioned traditional technologies is limited. They cannot adaptively and accurately divide the illumination type corresponding to the visual perception according to the brightness characteristics of the specific image, so that they cannot efficiently Perform adaptive image enhancement

Abstract

The invention provides an image processing method and device. The method comprises the following steps of: an obtaining step, a dividing step, an analyzing step, a gamma coefficient assuring step and a gamma correction step, wherein the obtaining step is used for obtaining a pixel number distribution of an image in a brightness space; the dividing step is used for dividing the brightness space into at least three brightness regions; the analyzing step is used for comparing a pixel number containing the brightness space with a pre-set threshold value in the brightness space to assure a light illumination type of the image, aiming to at least one brightness region in at least three brightness regions; the gamma coefficient assuring step is used for assuring the number of gamma coefficients needed by the gamma correction, the size of each gamma coefficient and a defining domain of the gamma correction corresponding each gamma coefficient, based on the light illumination type of the image and the pixel number distribution of the image; and the gamma correction step is used for carrying out the gamma correction on the image, based on the number of the gamma coefficients, the size of each gamma coefficient and the defining domain of the gamma correction corresponding each gamma coefficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to image processing, and in particular, to methods and apparatus for image enhancement of images and videos. Background technique [0002] Different lighting situations can be seen everywhere: indoors, outdoors, offices, conference rooms, supermarkets, etc. Bad lighting conditions, such as dark, bright, polarized (for example, backlight conditions where the subject is dark and the background is bright, and the subject is bright and the background is dark), etc., may cause image or video contrast Low, narrow dynamic range, and noise. Therefore, it is necessary to perform image enhancement on various bad lighting conditions so that the brightness of the image tends to be normal. [0003] Currently, various image enhancement techniques are being researched and applied, such as: histogram equalization, local histogram equalization, histogram matching, smoothing, sharpening, gamma correction, etc., but each method h...
