Histogram Equalization Algorithm and Implementation in Java

Histogram equalization is a technique used to enhance the contrast of image using the histogram of image. The histogram of image represents the frequency of gray levels in the image.The gray levels of image varying from 0 to 255, that is a gray scale image's pixel size is 8 bits(1 byte). So the histogram contains frequency of occurrence of values from 0 to 255.
The aim of histogram equalization is used in digital image processing is to generate an image with equally distributed brightness level over the whole brightness scale.

Histogram Equalization
Histogram equalization can enhance contrast for brightness values close to histogram maxima and decrease contrast near minima.

ALGORITHM

Step 1. Image size: NxM, gray level from 0 to 255, create an array H of size 256 and initialise it with 0.
Step 2: Create image histogram by scan every pixel of image and increment the relevant member of array.
            H[grayval(pix)] = H[grayval(pix)]+1.
Step 3: Form a cumulative histogram CH of size 256.
            CH[0] = H[0]
            CH[i] =  CH[i-1] + H[i], i=1,2,3,...255.
Step 4: Set T[i] = Round((255*CH[i])/(NxM))
Step 4: Rescan image and create new image with gray level value,
            NewImg[x][y] = T[OldImg[x][y]]

Is histogram equalization used for increase clarity of image?

To create image with equally distributed brightness level... You can see what happened in above images... :)
