[IP1-4] Image enhancement

Image enhancement algorithms are applied to remotely sensed data to improve the appearance of an image for human visual analysis or occasionally for subsequent machine analysis. The quality of results of image analysis are subjectively judged by humans as to whether they are useful. They include contrast enhancement.
