Abstract

Video enhancement becomes a very challenging problem under low lighting conditions. Numerous techniques for enhancing visual quality of videos/images captured under different environmental situations are proposed by number of researchers especially in dark or night time, foggy situations, rainy and so on. This paper discusses brief review of existing algorithms related to video enhancement techniques under various lighting condition such as De-hazing based enhancement algorithm, a novel integrated algorithm, gradient based fusion algorithm and dark channel prior and in addition it also presents advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms.
