A contrast enhancement technique for Infrared Images was proposed in this paper by using histogram bisection structure considering the bi-modal characteristics of infrared images and mapping of distribution location to find plateau values. The basic structure of the proposed technique is based on the LEE’s paper[1] and ‘Bi-Histogram Equalization with a Plateau Limit (BHEPL)[2]’ technique. As the results of several simulation tests with infrared images, the details of images were finely enhanced and the side-effects such as the exaggeration of background component and saturations of hot component were effectively minimized.
