Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for adjusting image brightness. The method includes: acquiring an image to be processed, and acquiring a single-channel brightness image based on grayscales of each channel of the image to be processed; performing Gaussian filtering on the single-channel brightness image to acquire a Gaussian filtered image; adjusting grayscales of the Gaussian filtered image based on the grayscales of the Gaussian filtered image and a preset proportion; comparing the Gaussian filtered image after adjustment with the Gaussian filtered image before adjustment to acquire a grayscale change rate of each pixel through adjustment; processing the image to be processed based on the grayscale change rate of each pixel to acquire a processed image; and outputting the processed image.
