This study introduces adaptive signal processing techniques to fix uneven lighting in camera images. These methods improve image quality by balancing light distribution for clearer text and graphs in real-time systems.

Area of Science:

Computer Vision
Image Processing
Signal Processing

Background:

Camera imaging systems often suffer from uneven light distribution, leading to degraded image quality.
This issue affects the clarity and contrast of displayed images, particularly for text and graphical data.

Purpose of the Study:

To present novel light-balancing techniques for compensating uneven illumination in camera imaging systems.
To develop adaptive signal processing algorithms for real-time image enhancement.

Main Methods:

For text images, a method estimating background level and applying nonuniform gain per pixel was used.
For graph images, adaptive section control with piecewise nonlinear gain was employed for histogram equalization.
Line-based processing was utilized to reduce memory and computational requirements.
