The invention discloses an
image enhancement method based on multi-level contrast and dark detail optimization. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out local
gray level distribution adjustment on an
infrared image; afterwards, dark part details are enhanced through a nonlinear adjustment function, and
Gaussian kernels of different scales are adopted to perform multi-scale
convolution operation, so that the brightness and detail performance of a dark part region are improved; calculating the global brightness
distribution characteristic of the image, and dynamically adjusting the gamma value to change the gray value distribution curve of the image, thereby achieving the comprehensive optimization of the brightness and contrast of the image. And finally, guiding filtering and L0 detail filtering technologies are combined, so that the
noise influence is effectively reduced, and meanwhile, the edge features are enhanced. According to the method,
noise reduction and edge feature enhancement are carried out on the
image based on block
histogram equalization, dark region enhancement, adaptive
gamma correction, guide filtering and L0 detail filtering, the definition and texture expression of the image are improved, and more reliable visual
information support is provided for subsequent
infrared target detection and recognition tasks.
