Subjectivity, psychology and fuzzy techniques: a new approach to image enhancement

Image enhancement is usually necessary to support human visual perception. The results of enhancement, however, do not satisfy the demands of the observers in many situations. To find a solution, one needs to find a new cognitive framework for initial image understanding that enables us to explain human subjectivity in a sophisticated way. We mainly focus on the communicative model of image understanding as a psychological answer to image understanding. The results of a prototype for subjective image enhancement are also presented.
