# Overview

Contrast Enhancement is a significant part of image processing algorithms. Too dark or too light images don’t look good to the human eyes. Hence while the primary focus of these algorithms is to enhance visual beauty, some applications of this in medical research is also prevalent.

We have a few contrast enhancement algorithms in the GIL image processing suite as well. These include :

> 1. Histogram Equalization

> 2. Histogram Matching

> 3. ahe

> 4. Linear and Non-Linear Contrast stretching
