Abstract

For the visual measurement of moving arm holes in complex working conditions, a histogram equalization algorithm can be used to improve image contrast. To lessen the problems of image brightness shift, image over-enhancement, and gray-level merging that occur with the traditional histogram equalization algorithm, a dual histogram equalization algorithm based on adaptive image correction (AICHE) is proposed. To prevent luminance shifts from occurring during image equalization, the AICHE algorithm protects the average luminance of the input image by improving upon the Otsu algorithm, enabling it to split the histogram. Then, the AICHE algorithm uses the local grayscale correction algorithm to correct the grayscale to prevent the image over-enhancement and gray-level merging problems that arise with the traditional algorithm. It is experimentally verified that the AICHE algorithm can significantly improve the histogram segmentation effect and enhance the contrast and detail information while protecting the average brightness of the input image, and thus the image quality is significantly increased.
