An Integrated Adaptive Histogram Equalization Based Genetic Algorithm for Performance Enhancement of Colored Images

Rimpi Mahajan; Ajay Kumar; Amita

In digital image processing, image enhancement plays a vital role. A new algorithm is proposed in this paper, which utilises genetic algorithm integrated with adaptive histogram equalization to enhance the results. Genetic algorithm has ability to find optimistic adjustment factor for better image enhancement. Therefore provides more optimistic results than available methods. Also to reduce ringing artifacts further adaptive histogram equalization is used. The main scope of this work is to apply proposed technique for colored infrared images. The design and implementation has been done in MATLAB using image processing toolbox. The comparison among the genetic algorithm and proposed technique has shown that the proposed technique outperforms over the genetic algorithm based image enhancement.
