ABSTRACT
A new wavelet-based image enhancement algorithm is
proposed to improve performance of face detection in non-
uniform lighting environment with high dynamic or
decomposition range
In this wavelet transform is used for dimension reduction
We also use local contrast enhancement and hyperbolic sine
curve which are used for further image compression and
enhancement
Histogram equalization is also used for better enhance ment
INTRODUCTION
It is well known that human eyes perform much better than cameras when
imaging real world scenes having high dynamic range that can span more than six
orders of magnitude.
Currently available imaging devices can measure only about three orders of
magnitude.
As a result the images captured in scenes with high dynamic range commonly
suffer from poor visibility due to either overexposure causing saturation or
underexposure resulting in low contrast dark images.
This leads to poor representation of some of the important features in resulting
images there by making it difficult to pick those by human eye or by computer
vision algorithms.
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this project is a new method proposed to solve the
problem of blur, resolution, noise and contrast changes by using wavelet-
based dynamic range compression for image quality enhancement.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
In this project to enhance an image from different types of noises and other problems of
blur, resolution and contrast changes with support of spatial enhancement techniques.
It follows that image can be segmented into patches by using Wavelet-based Dynamic
Range Compression(WDRC) then proceeding with local enhancement with spatial
enhancement techniques(histogram processing).
LITERATURE SURVEY
(2013) created a first of a kind blind IQA model that assesses image
quality without knowledge of anticipated distortions or human opinions
of them. The quality of the distorted image is expressed as a simple
distance metric between the model statistics and those of the distorted
image. The new model outperforms FR IQA models and competes with
top performing NR IQA trained on human judgments of known
distorted images. Such a model has great potential to be applied in
unconstained environments.

and registration methods for visual image enhancement. We
demonstrate our method for the problem of cellular photography

photography devices, our model assumes that high-quality personal

SOFTWARE MODULES
Wavelet transform is used for dimension reduction such that a dynamic range
compression with local contrast enhancement algorithm is applied only to the
approximation coefficients
The normalized approximation coefficients are transformed using a hyperbolic
sine curve and the contrast enhancement is realized by tuning the magnitude of
each coefficient with respect to its surrounding coefficients.
The transformed coefficients are then de-normalized to their original range.
The detail coefficients are also modified using the ratio between the original
and enhanced approximation coefficients, followed by the inverse wavelet
transform resulting in a low dynamic range and contrast enhanced intensity
image.
WORKING PROCEDURE
The term spatial refers to space. In an image, this space is a 2D plane (xy-
plane). So, the spatial domain refers to the image plane itself and methods in
spatial domain are based on directly modifying the value of the pixels. Spatial
domain processes are represented as
I1(x,y)=T[I(x,y)]
