Opis:

Image enhancement is becoming increasingly im portant with the advancement of space exploration techniques and the technological development of more durable and sci entifically sound observatories equipped with more powerful telescopes. The enhancement of images helps astronomers an alyze the results and act toward determining the dates of religious festivals. This work describes a technique known as contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) with grayscale contrast enhancement and bilateral filtering. We apply CLAHE on the L component of the CIE-Lab color space to adjust lightness contrast. Subsequently, grayscale contrast enhancement is performed to increase the visibility of the moon crescent. Noise caused by grayscale contrast en hancement is reduced using bilateral filtering. Two quantita tive measures are selected (PSNR and MSE) to show the visual improvement achieved by the proposed algorithm.
