Abstract
In remote sensing images, the common artifacts caused by existing contrast enhancement methods, need to be minimized because pieces of important information are widespread throughout the image in the sense of both spatial locations and intensity levels. In this regard enhancement techniques not merely restore the contrast but also decrease intensity distortion of satellite images. To achieve this goal, in this paper, the image is first enhanced by applying sigmoid function. Then multiobjective PSO method is adopted to maximize the information content, carried in the image with a continuous intensity transform function while preserving the image intensity by using the gamma-correction approach. The proposed technique is implemented using MATLAB and tested over Landsat satellite images provided by USGS. The qualitative results have clearly shown that the proposed image enhancement technique can preserve the significant detail of the original image.
