Emerging Methods for Color Image and Video Quality Enhancement

  1. The chroma noise effect seriously reduces the quality of digital images and videos, especially if they are acquired in low-light conditions. This paper describes the DCT-CNR (Discrete Cosine Transform-Chroma Nois...

  2. One common characteristic of most high-contrast images is the coexistence of dark shadows and bright light source in one scene. It is very difficult to present details in both dark and bright areas simultaneou...
