Abstract
In order to improve the clearness of images captured at night, a new enhancement algorithm is proposed in this paper. Its characters are: (1) enhancing the dark image with contrast enhancement and histogram equalization in series, so both the local and global information can be used; (2) a contrast transforming function which is suited to deal with dark image is proposed; (3) it can be realized in real time. The new method shows good performance in dealing with night vision images
