1 Visual Sensor Networks - Research Article Fast contrast enhancement by adaptive pixel value stretching International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks 2018, Vol. 14(8) Ó The Author(s) 2018 DOI: / journals.sagepub.com/home/dsn Gang Cao 1,HuaweiTian 2, Lifang Yu 3 and Xianglin Huang 1 Abstract In this article, we propose a fast and effective method for digital image contrast enhancement. The gray-level dynamic range of contrast-distorted images is extended maximally via adaptive pixel value stretching. The quantity of saturated pixels is set intelligently according to the perceptual brightness of global images. Adaptive gamma correction is also novelly used to recover the normal luminance in enhancing dimmed images. Different from prior methods, our proposed technique could be enforced automatically without complex manual parameter adjustment per image. Both qualitative and quantitative performance evaluation results show that, comparing with some recent influential contrast enhancement techniques, our proposed method achieves comparative or better enhancement quality at a surprisingly lower computational cost. Besides general computer applications, such merit should also be valuable in low-power scenarios, such as the imaging pipelines used in small mobile terminals and visual sensor network.

Here, contrast is often defined as the dynamic range of pixel values within global or local image regions. CE is widely used as an image enhancement tool in the real applications of computer vision and pattern recognition. We can see that low contrast not only degrades visual quality, but also hinders the further applications of images, for instance, image analysis and understanding, object recognition and digital printing, and so on. So it is essential to develop CE techniques for enhancing the contrast-distorted images before further applications. Generally, a good CE technique is expected to (1) achieve more contrast improvement and less structure distortion and (2) enjoy low computational complexity. There are plenty of previous works on digital image CE. In terms of the manipulated data space, existing CE methods could be generally categorized into pixel 1 11 and transform domain ones. The pixel domain CE relies on the direct manipulation of pixel gray levels (namely, pixel values), while the other is implemented in the transformation domain of digital images, such as discretecosinetransform, wavelet, 15 and curvelet. 16 Histogram equalization (HE) is a classical CE method, which enhances image contrast by 1 School of Computer and Cyberspace Security, Communication University of China, Beijing, China 2 College of Criminal Investigation and Counter Terrorism, eople s ublic Security University of China, Beijing, China 3 Beijing Key Laboratory of Signal and Information rocessing for Highend rinting Equipments, Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication, Beijing, China Corresponding author: Xianglin Huang, School of Computer and Cyberspace Security, Communication University of China, Beijing 024, China. huangxl@cuc.edu.cn Creative Commons CC BY: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License ( which permits any use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access pages ( open-access-at-sage).
2 2 International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks redistributing the probability density of pixel values. 1 Although HE is computationally effective, it often incurs excessive enhancement and unnatural artifacts on the images which have peaks in pixel value histograms. 4,17 In order to attenuate such deficiency, the improved local HE 2 and brightness-preserving bi-he 3 have been developed. Then the histogram modification (HM) algorithm is proposed by treating CE as an optimization problem via minimizing a cost function with penalty terms. 4 Huang et al. 5 proposed the method of adaptive gamma correction with weighting distribution (AGCWD) to enhance the contrast of dimmed images, which own low global mean brightness and appear black. Such a method deals well with most dimmed images, but fails for globally bright images and dimmed images with local bright regions. In order to attenuate such deficiency, Cao et al. 6 integrated the strategies of negative image and truncated cumulative distribution function into the design of pixel value mapping function. Celik 7 presented spatial entropy based contrast enhancement (SECE) to incorporate the spatial distribution characteristics of pixels into the design of pixel mapping function. It could always improve the contrast of any type of input images to some extent, for example, dimmed, bright, or normal ones, without resulting in apparent image quality degradation. Later, Celik 8 proposed another global image CE algorithm based on spatial mutual information and agerank. Although nearly the state-of-the-art enhancement quality is achieved, such an algorithm runs rather slower than the others. Cao et al. 9 proposed an efficient acceleration scheme to speed it up by selective downsampling. arihar et al. 10 presented an effective image CE algorithm by exploiting fuzzy contextual information in the spatial domain. Besides, the prior knowledge on human visual perception 18,19 and computational intelligence, such as deep learning 20 and big data, 21 is also utilized to design efficient CE algorithms. We also note that the MATLAB function imadjust (ADJ) is also a rather efficient CE method, which extends the dynamic range of pixel values to maximum by saturating a certain percent of pixels. 11 Although ADJ owns the lowest computational complexity among all popular CE algorithms, it is inconvenient in automatic and batch processing applications since the best setting of input parameters is typically variant with images. It requires users to select proper parameters per image manually. As such, it is rather essential to improve ADJ by importing automatic and adaptive parameter configuration via images. Here, we present a cost-effective CE algorithm based on adaptive pixel value stretching and adaptive gamma correction. It can be applied in automatic mode without specially selecting parameters for each image every time. The fundamental idea is to extend the dynamic range of pixel gray levels adaptively through pixel value stretching, and recover the normal global luminance by adaptive gamma correction. Such processing enjoys the significant advantage of low computational complexity. The remainder of this article is organized as follows. Section roposed method introduces the proposed image CE method detailedly, followed by the experiments and discussions presented in section Experimental results and discussion. The conclusions are drawn in the last section. roposed method In this section, we propose a fast and effective image CE technique, which relies on the integration of both adaptive pixel value stretching and adaptive gamma correction. roblem definition Let an input grayscale image with H 3 W pixels be denoted by X ={x(i, j) i = 1, 2,..., H; j = 1, 2,..., W}, where x(i, j) = 0, 1, 2,..., 255 for 8-bit images are considered illustratively. In practical applications, the originally captured image X may have limited dynamic range and inappropriate brightness, for example, being too dark to display scene details clearly. The objective of our proposed CE algorithm is to yield a naturally looking enhanced image Y ={y(i, j) i = 1, 2,..., H; j = 1, 2,..., W}, which owns higher contrast than X. Adaptive pixel value stretching xel value stretching is a simple yet effective method for CE of digital images, which is used in the MATLAB function imadjust. Although such a method is mostly efficient, it requires users to respectively select appropriate parameters for different input images. Such inefficient manual selection is fitting to enhance a single image or a small quantity of images, but loses efficacy in batch processing mode. As such, it is significant to design an automatic pixel value stretching method described below. First, we compare average brightness of the input image X with a predefined threshold t m. That is t = m X t m t m ð1þ where m X is the average gray level of pixels in X excluding the saturated ones, that is, x(i, j) = 0, 255. Note that t denotes the relative measurement of global average brightness of X and t m is the targeted brightness which typically distributes around 128 based on natural image statistics. Here, t is further truncated to fall in [ 1,1]. It shows that t decreases from 0 to 21
3 Cao et al. 3 if the image is darker and increases from 0 to 1 if the image is brighter. Second, a two-element vector [s l (t),s h (t)] is designated to specify the fractions of pixels to be saturated at the low and high ends. That is ½ ½s l (t), s h (t) Š= c, c t stš, if t 0 ð2þ ½c + t s t, cš, otherwise where c is a constant baseline fraction and t s is the maximum adjustable amplitude. The principle behind such formulation lies in the fact that the gray-level histogram inclines to one end if an image is globally bright or dark. Such a global brightness could be corrected to the normal level by increasing the fraction of pixels to be saturated at the opposite end. Moreover, in order to correct adaptively, s l (t) and s h (t) should be larger for brighter and blacker input images, respectively. Besides, the adjustable quantity is limited within t s to avoid over saturation, which may degrade the image structure details in white and dark regions. Finally, according to [s l (t),s h (t)] and the gray-level histogram of X, the corresponding gray levels [x l (t), x h (t)] can be determined. As shown in Figure 1, the original pixel values x(i, j) are then mapped to y(i, j) as 8 0, if x x l (t) >< 255, if x x h (t) y = x x l (t) g(t) >: 255, otherwise x h (t) x l (t) ð3þ where g(t) is an adaptive gamma parameter with the function of the global mean brightness of X. Such pixel value stretching can extend the dynamic range of an image to the theoretically full spectrum [0,255] in linear or non-linear mode. Moreover, certain quantity of saturated pixels is yielded and the global intensity is corrected adaptively in the enhanced images. As a result, the proposed adaptive pixel value stretching method could adjust both image contrast and brightness effectively. Adaptive gamma correction Through experiments, we found that the linear pixel value stretching (g(t) = 1 in equation (3)) performs CE well in most scenarios, but fails to brighten dimmed images which are globally prone to black. In order to attenuate such deficiency, adaptive gamma correction is integrated to boost the global intensity. Generally, a darker image should be corrected with a smaller gamma value. Nevertheless, stratification phenomenons is typically incurred in smooth and homogeneous image regions by overly intense gamma corrections. As such, y γ (t) xl () t x () t 255 Figure 1. Adaptive pixel value stretching. Here, [x l (t),x h (t)] are the thresholds for saturation and g(t) is the adaptive gamma. the used gamma value g(t) is restricted to being not smaller than the threshold t r \1. Based on such considerations, we propose an adaptive mechanism to automatically determine the gamma parameter as g(t)= max ½ 1 + t T, t rš, if t T ð4þ 1, otherwise where T \ 0 is a threshold used to determine whether gamma correction is applied to the dimmed images and max[,] is the maximizing operator. We can see that g(t) varies from 1 to t r when the input image deviates from a certain dimmed degree to being increasingly dimmed (t : T! 1). The darker image with smaller t is to be corrected with a smaller gamma value. Note that gamma correction is not performed if the input image is not overly dimmed (t. T), where the linear pixel value stretching itself could rectify the global brightness to an acceptable level and additional gamma correction is not needed. It should be mentioned that the acceptable global brightness of enhanced images should be within a range centered at t m, but not a single specific value. Color image enhancement As in the prior works, 4 9 CE of color images is realized by applying the proposed algorithm to the luminance component and preserving the chrominance components in HSV color space. h x
4 4 International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks Experimental results and discussion Dataset, algorithms, and performance measures The test images are collected from three standard databases including Kodak, 22 CSIQ, 23 and BSD Kodak has 24 high-quality images with the size of pixels. CSIQ contains 30 reference images and their global contrast-distorted versions at five levels. BSD500 includes 500 natural images with the resolution of pixels. Both classical and state-of-the-art CE algorithms including HE, 1 HM, 4 AGCWD, 5 ADJ, 11 and SECE 7 are compared in performance evaluation. The default parameter settings given in the original literature are used in tests. The parameters in our proposed method are experimentally set as t m = 128, c = 0.007, t s = 0.02, t r = 0.7, and T = 0.3 in all experiments. Such settings could be easily adjusted within a limited range without affecting the enhancement results. In both qualitative and quantitative assessments, the metric of patch-based contrast quality index (CQI) 25 is used as the objective measurement for assessing the quality of enhanced images. We have also noted that another influential metric, namely, gradient magnitude similarity deviation (GMSD), 26 has been used to evaluate SECE. 7 GMSD is a full-reference image quality assessment for measuring the perceptual similarity between two images via gradient comparison. However, we find that GMSD is incapable of capturing the discrepancy on the global average intensity, which determines the perceptual global luminance of images. CQI is a prediction on the human perception of contrast variations between the enhanced and reference images. It decomposes image patches into mean intensity, signal strength, and signal structure components and is defined as CQIðY, X r Þ= c s i ð5þ where c 2½0, 2Š measures the contrast change of Y comparing with the reference image X r. Contrast is improved if c. 1, and higher c implies more increment. s 2½0, 1Š and i 2½0, 1Š, respectively, measure the distortions of the image structure and mean brightness between Y and X r, respectively. Higher s and i mean less distortion. Note that merely the overall metric CQI () itself fails to provide such detailed assessments, since different groups of ( c, s, i ) values may yield the same value. As such, the c, s, i, and values are shown in our test results. Qualitative assessments The qualitative assessment results on example images are shown detailedly in this subsection. CE performance on the images with different levels of brightness is evaluated first. Gamma corrections with r = 0.3, 3 are applied to the original images in datasets for simulating the bright and dimmed types of contrastdistorted images. Figure 2(a) shows the bright, normal (original), and dimmed versions of the Woman image from Kodak dataset. The corresponding enhanced images yielded by six different CE methods are shown in Figure 2(b) (g). It shows that our proposed CE method behaves consistently well on all inputs and obtains comparative or better visual quality with regard to the state-of-the-art CE method, that is, SECE. Table 1 displays the corresponding CQI values of such images, where the original image is treated as the reference image X r. We can see that all CE methods can improve the contrast of input images. HE easily suffers over enhancement. Although the highest c value (1.33) is obtained, HE also incurs serious image distortion verified by the relatively small s and i values. HM shows satisfied performance in enhancing original images, but behaves unstably in bright and dimmed cases due to sensitive parameter setting of the algorithm itself. AGCWD behaves rather well in processing the dimmed image, but generates serious structure (0.) and brightness (0.69) distortions in enhancing the bright image. Although the value of SECE (0.) is lower than that of ADJ (1.10) and the proposed algorithm (1.14) when r = 0.3, the three CE methods generate comparative results in enhancing bright and normal types of images. The main advantage of our method lies in the enhancement of dimmed images, the contrast of which can be improved and the brightness of which can be corrected to some extent. Such a merit is validated by the more clear enhanced image shown in Figure 2(g) and the larger CQI values obtained by the proposed algorithm, especially when comparing with those of ADJ. Figures 3 and 4 and Tables 2 and 3 show the results on the other two images from Kodak dataset. The same findings can be consistently validated by both the visual inspection of enhanced images and the objective CQI measurements. In such two examples, the results achieved by our method are nearly comparative to those of SECE and definitely better than those of ADJ in enhancing dimmed images, namely, the case of r = 3. We can see that the enhanced images generated by ADJ are still prone to dark, while those of the proposed algorithm and SECE are perceptually bright and normal. Different from the brightness-distorted type, CSIQ dataset provides another type of low-contrast images which have narrow and clipped dynamic range of pixel gray levels. Figure 5(a) displays an undistorted image and its low-contrast versions at five levels. The enhanced images shown in Figure 5(b) (g) demonstrate that our proposed method can effectively implement

Note that HE causes apparent color distortion. HM is still unstable and not rather effective on high-level cases, such as Levels 3 5. As shown in Table 4, such a result can also be found from the corresponding low values, that is, 0.75, 0.63, and

The corresponding CQI measurements reported in Table 4 have also confirmed such results. Here, the primary undistorted image is treated as the reference image X r for computing CQI values. Another six example images are used to further evaluate the visual quality of enhancement results. As shown in Figure 6(a), the first three images are collected from CSIQ dataset and with Levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The fourth and fifth images are collected from BSD500 dataset, and the last one is collected from the dataset used in Brown and Susstrunk. 27 Generally, the enhanced images shown in Figure 6(b) (g) demonstrate that our proposed method could always achieve high-quality results and outperforms the other methods. Gray-level histogram of the luminance (V) channel is shown below each image. It shows that both ADJ and SECE can always preserve the histogram shape after CE. Our method can also preserve the histogram shape when the gamma correction is not applied, such as the example images shown in rows 1, 3, 4, and 5. In the second and sixth examples, the applied gamma correction actually shifts histograms slightly, but the basic contour could still be preserved by our method. Quantitative assessments Statistical tests on image databases are enforced to quantitatively evaluate the performance of CE algorithms. Five levels of brightness-distorted low-contrast images are prepared by applying gamma corrections to the unaltered images in databases. Gammas r = 0.3, 0.7, 1, 2, 3 are tested. Then the enhanced images are yielded by applying different CE methods to such images. Statistical means of the CQI values calculated from Kodak and BSD500 databases are given in Tables 5 and 6, respectively. Consistent with those in qualitative assessments, the results also indicate that our method could achieve comparative performance with ADJ and SECE in the cases of bright (r = 0.3, 0.7) and normal (r = 1) images. In the case of weakly dimmed (r = 2) brightness, the values of the proposed algorithm (0., 0.96) are distinctly higher than those of ADJ (0.85, 0.87) and approximate those of SECE (0., 0.). As for the case of intensely dimmed (r = 3) images, the values of the proposed algorithm (0.88, 0.87) are obviously higher than those of ADJ (0.68, 0.72) and slightly higher than those of SECE (0.83, 0.84). Note that the nearly lowest s and i values of HE imply the largest distortion of image quality, although the highest contrast improvement ( c ) has been achieved. All such statistical results verify the effectiveness of our proposed CE method. Table 7 shows the corresponding test results on CSIQ image database. The nearly identical CQI values of ADJ, SECE, and the proposed algorithm signify the comparative performance in enhancing the lowdynamic-range images from CSIQ. The same deficiency as that on Kodak and BSD500 datasets still exists in HE. HM fails to well enhance the highly low-dynamicrange images, that is, Levels 4 and 5. The rather low i values ( ) reveal that AGCWD is also unfit to process CSIQ images. It should be mentioned that i and c are less sensitive than s in terms of digitals. As for the same decrease, the degradation of image perceptual quality incurred by s is larger than that by i. Moreover, i measures the brightness difference between the enhanced and reference images. The deviations within a limited range may all be acceptable. For example, the digitals i = 0., 0. and c = 1.04, 1.03 for ADJ, SECE, and the proposed algorithm could be considered as comparative results. Computation time Generally, all CE techniques pursuit the same goal of achieving more contrast increment with less image distortion at the cost of less computational resources. A practical CE algorithm typically requires low computational complexity. Here, we evaluate the time complexity of our proposed algorithm which is run on a computer with an Intel Core i5-5200u 2.2 GHz CU

The average computation time used for enhancing per test image created from BSD500 is computed. As displayed in Table 8, the average computation time per image of our proposed method is 5.3 ms, which is remarkably faster than those of the other methods except for ADJ. SECE has the highest time complexity (38.6 ms). Although the histogram-based approaches, HE and HM, are testified to actually own the merit of low complexity, that is, 10.8 and 11.7 ms, respectively, they are still approximately double that of the proposed algorithm. Note that ADJ is the fastest with 1.8 ms per image, which is far below the other methods. Such a result should be attributed to the simplicity of its involved data manipulations, which merely include simple statistic and fixed pixel value stretching. Comparing with ADJ, our method adds the adaptive parameter designations based on the computation and comparison of global mean brightness. As such, the time complexity of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of ADJ, but still remains at a rather low level, that is, far below 10 ms. Conclusion In this article, a fast and effective algorithm is proposed to improve the contrast of digital images. Adaptive pixel value stretching is proposed to extend the dynamic of pixel gray levels automatically, without requiring the complicated manual setting for each input image. Adaptive gamma correction is designed novelly to rectify the naturally normal luminance in enhancing dimmed images. The proposed image CE technique enjoys the advantages of low computational complexity and consistent contrast improvement. Extensive experimental results have verified the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method. Comparing with other CE algorithms, the enhanced images generated by our method own comparative or better contrast improvement with less image distortion. Moreover, the computational complexity of our method is verified to be far below those of HE and a latest CE algorithm, SECE. In the future work, we would try to further improve the performance of CE algorithms by integrating more effective and advanced models of contrast perception.
