Abstract
Histogram Equalization is the most popular algorithm for contrast enhancement due to its effectiveness and simplicity. In this paper, We propose the advanced contrast enhancement method using genetic algorithm. We propose a novel objective criterion for enhancement, and attempt finding the best image according to the respective criterion. Due to the high complexity of the enhancement criterion proposed, we employ a Genetic Algorithm. We compared our method with other enhancement techniques, like Global Histogram Equalization and Partially Overlapped Sub-Block Histogram Equalization(POSHE).
