In the bridge image to the right, the image shown on the left side displays an 8 bit image as it would typically be produced – using color histogram equalization. This global equalization process puts too much of the image into “under-saturated” values, wasting valuable information. The “after” image on the right side shows how optimizing each pixel – a computer intensive process that DDC makes available in hardware for full-frame-rate live detail extraction – can greatly enhance situational awareness.
Use one of DDC's COTS (current-off-the-shelf) platforms for digital image enhancement and restoration, including recording, or let us develop a custom platform for you.
DDC has very deep digital image enhancement experience, and works the gamut from sensor to display. We specialize in real-time detail extraction, image stabilization, image enhancement and restoration, image contrast enhancement, fusion, tracking, analytics, graphics, and others, in embedded live settings.
