Performance optimization of Histogram Equalization for digital images using modern imaging

Histogram equalization is a method of contrast adjustment in image processing using the image’s histogram. However, as modern imaging systems become more complex, these traditional algorithms for histogram equalization are no longer efficient. In response to this problem, researchers have studied several strategies for improving the performance of histogram equalization in digital images. An option is to use parallel processing and multi-threading approaches to distribute the computational burden, thereby speeding up the execution of histogram equalization. Another methodology includes using machine learning algorithms to adapt histogram equalization parameters according to the input image. Furthermore, using advanced hardware architectures like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), Graphic Processing Units (GPU), or Application Specific Integrated Circuits can significantly enhance the speed and efficiency of a Histogram Equalization. The performance optimization techniques have provided encouraging results, which significantly refine image processing time and visual perception. Modern imaging systems may benefit tremendously from their use in the new age.
