Local normalization in OpenCV

Question

I\'m trying to implement in OpenCV a local normalization algorithm to reduce the difference of illumination in an image. I have found a MATLAB function, and I have implement

Answer 1

This is the Python implementation of the same algo above:

import cv2
import numpy as np

img = cv2.imread('/home/anmol/Downloads/lena.png')

gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

float_gray = gray.astype(np.float32) / 255.0

blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(float_gray, (0, 0), sigmaX=2, sigmaY=2)
num = float_gray - blur

blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(num*num, (0, 0), sigmaX=20, sigmaY=20)
den = cv2.pow(blur, 0.5)

gray = num / den

gray = cv2.normalize(gray, dst=gray, alpha=0.0, beta=1.0, norm_type=cv2.NORM_MINMAX)

cv2.imwrite("./debug.png", gray * 255)
