Abstract

Image enhancement is an important image processing task that effectively improves the visual quality of an image. This image processing technique performs the operations on the input image in order to get an enhanced image. Histogram technique is a simple enhancement technique that leads to high degree of enhancement and reduces unnatural artifacts. In this research article, a color image enhancement algorithm for low resolution images is proposed. Also, a comparison of performance of various existing histogram enhancement techniques with the proposed algorithm is assessed using three parameters i.e. Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Bit Error Rate (BER). From these parameters, it has been observed that the proposed algorithm well enhances the low resolution images by preserving original hue.
