Backlit Image Enhancement Using Retinex

This project aims to improve the visibility of under-exposed regions in images while preserving the details in other regions using the Retinex theory. The Retinex theory is a color perception model that explains how the human visual system perceives color and brightness. By applying this theory, we can enhance the visual details of under-exposed regions in images while preserving the natural appearance of the other regions. The proposed method is evaluated on a set of benchmark images, and the results demonstrate that our approach effectively enhances the visual quality of under-exposed regions. This approach has potential applications in various domains such as photography, surveillance, medical imaging, and computer vision.
