Abstract

CCTV footage enhancement is a desktop based tool to improve the quality of CCTV footages so that result is more suitable than original image for specific. Digital image enhancement techniques are used for the enhancement of footage which provides a multitude of choices for improving the visual quality of images. Appropriate choice of such techniques is greatly influenced by the imaging modality, task at hand and viewing conditions. CCTV usage is quite common these days. CCTV cameras are found in everywhere (shopping malls, security centers, banks, etc). Also, security is primary concern of today’s world; therefore CCTVs have become more a necessity. Image produced by CCTVs is usually blur, low quality and do not reveal the in-depth details (facial detection, pixels). This project assists in enhancement of footage with particular reference to spatial domain techniques, point processing methods and histogram processing. In this tool, along with enhancement filters other functionalities like motion detection and automatic comparison among algorithms at each frame is provided to make the tool more sophisticated.
