IMPROVING VISUALIZATION QUALITY OF THE HOMOGENEOUS VISUAL ENVIRONMENT
We propose an algorithm to search and underline the edges of low-contrast objects in the image. The image is brought to the form that contributes to less fatigue of a viewer during the prolonged observation. A distinctive feature of the algorithm is that the changes made to the frame are minimal, and the results of its application are clearly visible in the low-contrast images and almost invisible in the high-contrast images. By its action the algorithm resembles manual retouching of the photos. The article illustrates the main stages of the algorithm and gives evaluation of its operation speed. The work contains the results of processing of several graphics files and videos. The proposed algorithm can be used in the system of technical vision of the vehicle for better visualization of the surrounding area in poor visibility conditions. It can also improve the perception of poorly lit areas of space without the use of additional lighting.
