Abstract

This paper proposes a novel idea of reversible contrast enhancement (RCE) for digital images. Different from the traditional methods, we aim to embed the reversible feature into image contrast enhancement, making sure that the processed image can be losslessly turned back to the original. The original image is enhanced by histogram shrink and contrast stretching. Meanwhile, side information is generated and then embedded into the contrast enhanced image. On the other end, we extract side information from the processed image and reconstruct the original content without any error. Experimental results show that good contrast and good quality can be achieved in the RCE processed image.
