Research on Image Enhancement Algorithms.

Abstract

Six specific image enhancement algorithms are analyzed, simulated and evaluated for potential real-time application to imagery obtained from target acquisition systems. Three processing methods are recommended as operator controlled options for application to the imagery. They are median filtering, gradient processing and locally adaptive gain control. The objective for this effort was to identify and examine methods for enhanced acquisition and handoff for small targets in a complex and cluttered background. (Author)
