Abstract-Opportunity cost is a wide known theory in economics. The principle of opportunity cost and an effective image classification are utilized to decide the most suitable combination of clipping and scaling parameters in the nonlinear image enhancement method for various blurred images. It is also shown that this new image classification and opportunity cost for the nonlinear image enhancement method obtains a better subjective and objective performance than other nonlinear image enhancement methods for image quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
