Abstract
Image enhancement is one of the most commonly used methods in the image pre-processing aiming at improving visual effects for a specific purpose. In other words, the region of interest of images will be prominent after the image enhancement for easier analysis by human or computers. However, there exists no general or uniform standard for evaluating the enhancement quality objectively, because image enhancement methods usually depend on the special needs for some particular applications. In most cases, the enhancement effects are evaluated by the visual perception.
