A Study on Opportunity Cost with Classification for Non-Linear Image Enhancement

Opportunity cost is a wide known theory in economics. The principle of opportunity cost and an effective image classification are utilized to decide the most suitable combination of clipping and scaling parameters in the nonlinear image enhancement method for various blurred images. It is also shown that this new image classification and opportunity cost for the nonlinear image enhancement method obtains a better subjective and objective performance than other nonlinear image enhancement methods for image quality.
