The objective of "A Low Cost FPGA Implementation of Retinex Based Low-Light Image Enhancement Algorithm" is to design and implement a cost-efficient hardware architecture for real-time image enhancement in low-light conditions using the Retinex algorithm. The focus is on leveraging FPGA technology to achieve high processing speed, low hardware resource utilization, and improved visual quality for practical applications in surveillance, automotive vision, and consumer electronics.
Low-light conditions pose significant challenges in image processing, often leading to degraded image quality and loss of crucial details. To address this issue, this paper presents a low-cost FPGA implementation of a Retinex-based low-light image enhancement algorithm. The proposed system takes low-light images as input and processes them to generate enhanced images with improved contrast and detail visibility. Implemented in Verilog for hardware compatibility, the algorithm decomposes input images into illumination and reflectance components, applies dynamic range compression, and enhances details for optimal results. Leveraging the parallel processing capabilities of the FPGA, the system achieves real-time performance while maintaining cost-efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in enhancing low-light images, making it suitable for applications in surveillance, automotive systems, and consumer electronics, highlighting the potential of FPGA-based solutions in hardware-constrained environments.
