ABSTRACT:
Dynamic range equalization by histogram modification. A histogram is analyzed to determine locations of peaks. A mapping function is formed which relates to the locations of the peaks in a histogram. That mapping function may have areas of highest slope near the peaks. The mapping function is used to form a compressed histogram, which has the required number of levels to display on a display device.
