Degradation of captured image quality is a common problem. There are several techniques for improving image quality. Some of the techniques used are Contrast Stretch (CS) and Histogram Equalization (HE). These are the basic techniques that do not provide a significant improvement in improving the detail of the image. Thus arises the need to advance in these basic algorithms. The papers give a review of the various histogram equalization approaches. The paper also provides a comparative study of the results of the implementation of adaptive histogram equation (AHE) and contrast histogram equalization (CLAHE) and dynamic histogram equalization (DHE) for grayscale images in FPGA. The proposed system describes the Constraint Stretching and Dynamic Equalization based EQ algorithms for implementing FPGA hardware for colour images. To validate the algorithms in FPGA, simulation results are given based on the visual analysis of the input image and colour output.
Image preprocessing aims to improve image data by suppressing unwanted distortions or by improving some image characteristics important for further processing. 2. Computers perceive the images stored in the arrays, while computer vision treats To duplicate the images that humans see. Digital images have a fixed number of graylevels, based on the number of bits chosen, so grayscale transformations are easy to perform in both hardware and software. Grayscale transformations change the brightness of the pixels in the image and an algorithm that accomplishes this transformation is the equalization of histogram 2. Figure 1 illustrates the steps in the image processing systems applied to the equalization of the histogram. First, the image uploader is where you specify the image from a camera or a file on the PC. Then it goes through the image processing block and inside the block, the image goes through five steps before the system emits the equalized histogram of the original image. Once the equalized image is sent to the camera, a screen or one can save it to a file on the PC.
