Summary:In this paper, a new technique for the enhancement of color image using multiscale retinex with modified color restoration has been proposed. The basic steps of multiscale retinex algorithm have been analyzed, modified and various operations are performed in an orderly manner. The enhancement effects are visually effective. In addition, it adds true color constancy to an image. The experimental results show that multiscale retinex method based on color restoration technique is an efficient and computationally inexpensive. The proposed method not only provides true color fidelity for poor quality images but also averages the color components to gray value for balancing colors.
