Image for Histogram Specification

Histogram Specification

Histogram specification is a technique used in image processing to adjust the brightness and contrast of an image so it resembles a desired distribution. It works by modifying the image's pixel intensity levels to match a target histogram, which represents the frequency of brightness levels. This process enhances image details, improves visual appeal, or standardizes images for comparison. Essentially, histogram specification reshapes the tonal distribution of an image to meet specific visual or analytical goals.
