Abstract

An image processing method includes following operations: generating, by a processor, a sliding window for a target pixel in a plurality of pixels in image data; generating, by the processor, an original brightness histogram of the sliding window according to an original bit depth; generating, by the processor, a low-bit-depth brightness histogram of the sliding window according to a low bit depth; determining, by the processor, a target low-bit-depth range from the low-bit-depth brightness histogram according to the target pixel; extracting, by the processor, a partial original brightness histogram from the original brightness histogram according to the target low-bit-depth range; and performing, by the processor, a histogram equalization process on the partial original brightness histogram according to the original bit depth to generate a final brightness value of the target pixel.
