Histogram equalization will work the best when applied to images with much higher color depth than palette size, like continuous data or 16-bit gray-scale images. There are two ways to think about and implement histogram equalization, either as image change or as palette change.
An example of histogram matching. In image processing, histogram matching or histogram specification is the transformation of an image so that its histogram matches a specified histogram. [1] The well-known histogram equalization method is a special case in which the specified histogram is uniformly distributed. [2]
Adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) is a computer image processing technique used to improve contrast in images. It differs from ordinary histogram equalization in the respect that the adaptive method computes several histograms, each corresponding to a distinct section of the image, and uses them to redistribute the lightness values of the image.
Histogram equalization is a non-linear transform which maintains pixel rank and is capable of normalizing for any monotonically increasing color transform function. It is considered to be a more powerful normalization transformation than the grey world method.
In image processing, normalization is a process that changes the range of pixel intensity values. Applications include photographs with poor contrast due to glare, for example.
An image histogram is a type of histogram that acts as a graphical representation of the tonal distribution in a digital image. [1] It plots the number of pixels for each tonal value. By looking at the histogram for a specific image a viewer will be able to judge the entire tonal distribution at a glance.
In image processing, the balanced histogram thresholding method (BHT), [1] is a very simple method used for automatic image thresholding.Like Otsu's Method [2] and the Iterative Selection Thresholding Method, [3] this is a histogram based thresholding method.
Actually, as the graph shows a continuous histogram, the equalized version should be a rather boring flat line. I may be missing something here, but I think that a) that image is histogram stretching, not equalization, and b) showing stretching on the equalization page may confuse people, particularly as they are related.
