IMAGING GLOSSARY

Equalize (image processing)

An image-processing algorithm that redistributes the frequency of image pixel values allowing equal representation for any given continuous range of values.

In an ideal world, an equalized image has the same number of pixels in the range from 10-20 as it does from 200-210. However, since digital images have quantized intensity values, the range totals are rarely identical but usually close.
