Для решения данной задачи в оптико-электронных приборах в реальном масштабе времени широко используются блочные алгоритмы на основе локального выравнивания гистограммы с учетом их относительно низкой вычислительной сложности и возможности учета локальных особенностей распределения яркости. Базовый алгоритм адаптивного выравнивания гистограммы обеспечивает достаточно высокое качество изображений после преобразования, но может приводить к чрезмерной контрастности для некоторых типов изображений. В модифицированном алгоритме адаптивного выравнивания гистограммы контраст ограничивается с помощью порога за счет усечения локальных максимумов на краях гистограммы. Однако это приводит к ухудшению других показателей качества изображения. Данный недостаток свойственен многим алгоритмам локального выравнивания гистограммы наряду с ограниченными возможностями управления характеристиками качества воспроизведения изображений. Для повышения качества и расширения интервала управления характеристиками воспроизведения ИК-изображений предложен алгоритм двойного уменьшения динамического диапазона изображения с промежуточным управлением формой его гистограммы. Данный алгоритм осуществляет предварительное уменьшение динамического диапазона изображения на основе адаптивного выравнивания гистограммы, управление формой гистограммы на основе ее линейного или нелинейного сжатия, линейного растяжения ее центральной части и линейного растяжения (сжатия) ее боковых частей, окончательное уменьшение динамического диапазона на основе линейного сжатия всей гистограммы. Проведено сравнение характеристик предложенного алгоритма с характеристиками известных алгоритмов уменьшения динамического диапазона и улучшения качества изображений. Приведены зависимости характеристик качества воспроизведения изображений после уменьшения их динамического диапазона от параметров управления предложенного алгоритма и рекомендации по их выбору с учетом вычислительной сложности.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The problem of reducing the dynamic range and improving the quality of infrared (IR) images with a wide dynamic range for their display on a liquid crystal matrix with 8-bit pixels is considered. To solve this problem in optoelectronic devices in real time, block algorithms based on local equalization of the histogram are widely used, taking into account their relatively low computational complexity and the possibility of taking into account local features of the brightness distribution. The basic adaptive histogram equalization algorithm provides reasonably high image quality after conversion, but may result in excessive contrast for some types of images. In a modified algorithm of adaptive histogram equalization, the contrast is limited by a threshold by truncating local maxima at the edges of the histogram. This leads, however, to a deterioration in other indicators of image quality. This disadvantage is inherent in many algorithms of local histogram equalization, along with limited control over the characteristics of image reproduction quality. To improve the quality and expand the control interval for the characteristics of the reproduction of infrared images, the article proposes an algorithm for double reduction of the dynamic range of the image with intermediate control of the shape of its histogram. This algorithm performs: preliminary reduction of the dynamic range of the image based on adaptive equalization of the histogram, control of the shape of the histogram based on its linear or nonlinear compression, linear stretching of its central part and linear stretching (compression) of its lateral parts, final reduction of the dynamic range based on linear compression of the entire histograms. The characteristics of the proposed algorithm are compared with the characteristics of known algorithms for reducing the dynamic range and improving the image quality. The dependences of the characteristics of the quality of image reproduction after a decrease in their dynamic range on the control parameters of the proposed algorithm and recommendations for their choice taking into account the computational complexity are given.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>уменьшение динамического диапазона изображений</kwd><kwd>повышение качества воспроизведения изображений</kwd><kwd>инфракрасные изображения</kwd><kwd>выравнивание гистограммы</kwd><kwd>управление формой гистограммы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>reducing the dynamic range of images</kwd><kwd>improving the quality of image reproduction</kwd><kwd>infrared images</kwd><kwd>histogram equalization</kwd><kwd>control of the histogram shape</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Enhancement of low illumination images based on an optimal hyperbolic tangent profle / S.
