Abstract :
In this paper, a new filter that performs color image enhancement is presented. The filter achieves this through the minimization of a weighted cost function. The weights are determined using potential functions which are calculated in such a way as to convey spatial information. Application of the proposed filter on a real blurred and noisy color image is performed to verify its enhancement capabilities
