  • Publication number: 20240119573
    Abstract: An image processing method includes transforming input image data into a histogram, equalizing the histogram using a cumulative distribution function, setting a first weight value based on the equalized histogram and a first reference value, generating a first tone curve based on the equalized histogram and the first weight value, generating a final output tone curve by applying a second weight value to the first tone curve and an output of a second tone curve applied to the input image data, and generating output image data based on the final output tone curve and the input image data.
