A novel low contrast image enhancement approach based on the second generation curvelet is proposed.It overcomes the shortcomings of conventional methods,such as sensitively to noise and local over-enhancement.Firstly,the source image is decomposed by Curvelet transform.Then a kind of nonlinear enhancing function is applied to enhance the image’s global contrast in the low frequency subbands,and combining threshold denoising method with non-linear gain method to reduce the noise and enhance the details of i...
