Image for Local contrast enhancement

Local contrast enhancement

Local contrast enhancement is a technique used to make details within an image stand out more by emphasizing differences in brightness in small areas. Instead of adjusting the entire picture evenly, it focuses on local regions, making dark areas darker and bright areas brighter where needed. This process helps reveal textures and features that might be hidden or hard to see in the original image, improving overall clarity and detail. It’s commonly used in photography, medical imaging, and remote sensing to produce clearer and more detailed visual information.
