Abstract
Histogram modification techniques are an important tool for image enhancement. However, the efficiency of most of these techniques is limited due to the lack of mechanisms to differentiate between pixels that have the same intensity but belong to regions which are semantically distinct. In this paper, a method for histogram equalization, able to selectively modify each pixel in a digital image based on the context established by its neighboring pixels is proposed. This method emulates the decision–making process used by living organisms to recognize patterns, as described by the Gestalt theory.
