Pointwise Operations and Gamma


Abstract

This laboratory discusses various types of point operations applied to images.  Enhancement techniques such as histogram equalization and contrast stretching are discussed.  The concept of gamma which describes a nonlinear behavior of display devices is covered, as well as the point operation used to compensate for this nonlinearity.

To run this laboratory, you will need:
