Application of this algorithm to detect edge behaviors and local statistical information of images demonstrated better noise removal ability and obtained sharper edges than traditional image interpolation algorithems such as nearest neighbor, bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods.展开更多

Different from conventional algorithms, it was based on certain defined points containing the illumination information in the intensity image to estimate the illumination. After locating the points, the whole illumination image was computed by an interpolation technique. When attempting to recover the reflectance image, an adaptive method which can be considered as an optimization problem was employed to suppress noise in dark environments and keep details in other areas. For color images, it was taken in the band of each channel separately. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is superior to the traditional Retinex algorithms in image entropy.展开更多
