Abstract

In the modern environment, digital image processing is a very vital area of research. It is a process in which an input image and output might be either any image or some characteristics. In image enhancement process, input image, therefore, results are better than given input image for any particular application or set of objectives. Traditional contrast enhancement technique results in lightning of image, so here Discrete Wavelet transform is applied on image and modify only Low–Low band. In this presented technique, for enhancement of given image having low contrast apply Brightness Preserving Dynamic Histogram Equalization (BPHDE), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Thresholding of sub-bands of DWT, Firefly Optimization and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). DWT divides image into 4 bands of different frequency: High–high (HH), High–low (HL), Low–high (LH), and Low–low (LL). First apply a contrast enhancement technique named brightness preserving dynamic histogram equalization technique for enhancement of a given low-contrast image and boosts the illumination, then apply Firefly optimization on these 4 sub-bands and thresholding applied, this optimized LL band information and given input image’s LL band values are passed through SVD and new LL band obtained. Through inverse discrete wavelet transform of obtained new LL band and three given image’s HH, HL, and LH band obtained an image having high contrast. Quantitative metric and qualitative result of presented technique are evaluated and compared with other existing technique. A result reveals that presented technique is a more effective strategy for enhancement of image having low contrast. The technique presented by this study is simulated on Intel I3 64-bit processor using MATLAB R2013b.
