Histogram equalization (HE), although one of the most popular techniques used for digital image enhancement, is not very suitable to be implemented directly in consumer electronics, such as television, because this method tends to produce an output with saturation effect. To overcome this weakness, it is suggested that the mean intensity of the input image be maintained in the output image. Previously, we proposed a method known as brightness preserving dynamic histogram equalization (BPDHE) which can fulfill this requirement for grayscale images. In this paper, we present several possibilities to extend this method for color images.
