Enhancing Multi-Scale Retinex Algorithm Utilizing H.265/HEVC for Improved Video Compression

The Multi-Scale Retinex technique is a method that modifies images' visual quality by adapting the global lightness and local contrast at a local level thus Compression video files using High Efficiency Video Coding technology helps to keep the quality of the viewed video. The concept of involving H.265 video compression in order to enhance the performance of multi-Scale Retinex doesn't involve use simulation for MSR; instead it creates artificial images that mimic those produced by the human visual system, including color perception and level of detail under varying lighting conditions. This procedure consists in decomposing an image into numerous scales (enhancing each scale individually) then reassembling them into one single output image. This method has applications in various fields such as medical imaging, computer vision, and image processing. It can effectively compress video data without affecting the perceived image quality. Each frame of the video goes through the MSR (Multi-Scale Retina) technique and then the enhanced frame is compressed using the H.265 standard. This allows for achieving a 16% improvement in the ratio between effective video storage and visual quality. HEVC will have a 50% lower bit rate while maintaining the same level of image quality.
