Abstract
To resolve video enhancement problems, a novel method of gradient domain fusion wherein gradient domain frames of the background in daytime video are fused with nighttime video frames is proposed. To verify the superiority of the proposed method, it is compared to conventional techniques. The implemented output of our method is shown to offer enhanced visual quality.
