Contrast enhancement. Improving the picture by turning up the contrast. Most digital image display systems allow one to break each ’primitive’ colour into 256 degrees of intensity. An image that uses this entire intensity scale, that is, that contains values coded from 0 to 255, has excellent contrast, for the colour range will extend from black to white and include fully-saturated colours. In contrast, an image that uses a narrow range of numerical values will lack contrast(it will look ’greyish’). 2, record 3, English, - nonlinear%20contrast%20enhancement
