Image enhancement is one of the most significant techniques in digital image processing. This paper introduces two image enhancement methods, Weighted of Local and Bidirectional Smooth Histogram Stretching (WLBSHS) and Local then Bidirectional Smooth Histogram Stretching (LBSHS).

The Local Binary Pattern Histogram(LBPH) algorithm is a simple solution on face recognition problem, which can recognize both front face and side face. However, the recognition rate of LBPH algorithm under the conditions of illumination diversification, expression variation and attitude deflection is decreased. To solve this problem, a modified LBPH algorithm based on pixel neighborhood gray media...Show More

SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) has proved to be the most robust local invariant feature descriptor in object recognition and matching. Being designed mainly for the gray images, SIFT shows its vulnerability when deal with color images. To overcome this problem and increase the descriptor's distinctiveness, we introduce a new descriptor, a combination of the SIFT approach and the improved...Show More
A new method based on two layers image retrieval is proposed. The first layer retrieval feature is global color histogram and the second one consists of the local color histogram, the averages and variances of the multi-scaling 2D wavelet decomposition coefficients. Difference weights are assigned to every block according to the importance of its spatial distribution. This method combines the adva...Show More
A scheme for enhancing local contrast of ultrasound images based on multiscale morphology is presented in this paper. The conventional theoretical concept of local contrast enhancement using mathematical morphology has been applied in the field of ultrasound image processing.

The appearance and structure of blood vessels in retinal images has an important role in diagnosis of diseases. This paper proposes a method for segmentation of blood vessels in color retinal images. We present a method based on preprocessing of retinal images by enhancing the histogram of grayscale images. We research the effect of linear and non-linear intensity transformation in retinal vessel ...Show More
We present a fast global and locally adaptive tone mapping algorithm and its field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation. The specially designed tone mapping function, which is based on local histogram equalization, controls global, and local characteristics individually. In contrast to other tonemap operators, our algorithm manages light/dark halos separately and by using local tonemap fu...Show More
Achieving low recognition time and high accuracy in real-time face recognition is challenging. This study implements Viola-Jones, Local Binary Pattern Histogram, and Euclidean Distance for real-time face recognition and calculates the face detection time. The face image is detected using the Viola-Jones method; its features are extracted using the Local Binary Pattern Histogram, and the face is re...Show More
Robot with face detection and recognition can be useful. Some researchers have already been tried to implement the face detection and identification to robot applications, however, these applications need a high requirement of the camera(s). This paper attempts to overcome this problem, using a webcam placed in a head robot. Haar Cascade as face detection algorithm, whereas face recognition uses a...Show More
We propose a method for improving the accuracy of histogram-based image filtering. With this method, we define a histogram called intensity-stacked histogram. An image histogram generally consists of a frequency (number of pixels) for each bin. On the other hand, intensity-stacked histogram stores the sum of intensity values for each bin. The intensity-stacked histogram can be calculated in consta...Show More
Histogram Equalization (HE) is one of the techniques which is used for Image enhancement.
