Development and Implementation of Software for Multi-Algorithm Image Quality Enhancement

Abstract

Different image defogging methods should be adopted for different degrees of low contrast and sharpness of images caused by different weather conditions. This paper builds a MATLAB-based image quality improvement and evaluation software that combines the global RGB histogram equalization algorithm, the global HSV histogram equalization algorithm, the restricted contrast adaptive histogram equalization algorithm, the single-scale Retinex algorithm, the multi-scale Retinex algorithm, the Multi-Scale Retinex with Color Restoration, and the dark channel a priori algorithms and their optimization algorithms for image quality improvement and evaluation software. Outdoor images of hazy days, rainy days and snowy days are selected and the best algorithms for different weather conditions are obtained through extensive experimental simulations, software processing and analysis
