Abstract

A method to generate a histogram matched image in which a portion of a first reference image is partitioned into a plurality of regions. Histogram matching is performed separately on the plurality of regions of the first reference image and corresponding regions in a second image to generate a plurality of first histogram matched reference images. Histogram matching is also performed on the portion of the first reference image and a corresponding portion in the second image to generate a second histogram matched reference image. An area from one of at least a first histogram matched reference image and the second histogram matched reference image is selected to generate a finalized histogram matched reference image.
