Base on multiple papers about image enhancement, I create this library as API to call them easily. Image enhancement makes color of images more equalization by automatic or parameters.

pip install image-enhancement

from image_enhancement import image_enhancement
import cv2 as cv

input = cv.imread('input.jpg')

ie = image_enhancement.IE(input, 'HSV')
output = ie.GHE()

cv.imwrite('output.jpg', output)

Entry point to call image enhancement functions. Currently, there are three main groups, histogram equalization, gamma correction and other.

from image_enhancement import image_enhancement

ie = image_enhancement.IE(image, color_space = 'HSV')

This function is similar to equalizeHist(image) in opencv.
