研究目的
To develop and describe an algorithm for image enhancement based on aligning brightness histograms, addressing the gap in practical application descriptions in literature.
研究成果
The proposed algorithm for image enhancement through brightness histogram alignment performs comparably to established methods in OpenCV and MATLAB, effectively improving image quality for darkened, lightened, and low-contrast images. It offers a straightforward implementation that can be automated, making it suitable for practical applications in image processing. Future work could involve extending it to color images and incorporating quantitative evaluation metrics.
研究不足
The experiments were limited to grayscale images with 256 brightness levels (8-bit images). The analysis was primarily qualitative and visual, lacking quantitative metrics for performance comparison. The algorithm may not handle color images or other types of distortions beyond brightness issues. Implementation was specific to Python 2.7, which might not be optimized for all environments.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involved implementing the proposed histogram alignment algorithm in Python 2.7 and comparing it with existing functions in OpenCV (equalizeHist) and MATLAB (histeq). The design rationale was to verify the algorithm's correctness and effectiveness through practical testing on various images, particularly focusing on darkened, lightened, and low-contrast images.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The procedure included: (a) Implementing the algorithm as per the described scheme (Figure 3), which involves steps like ordering brightness levels, calculating pixel counts, determining probabilities, and applying transformations. (b) Applying the algorithm to test images and comparing results with OpenCV's equalizeHist and MATLAB's histeq functions. (c) Analyzing the output images and their brightness histograms visually and through comparison.
