    Abstract

    Automatic contrast enhancement using reversible data hiding (ACERDH) has been found to be useful in automatic image enhancement field. Instead of just providing data hiding ability, ACERDH also equalizes the pixel histogram as a part of data hiding process. This allows original image recovery directly from the enhanced image, without any additional data, which provides file saving feature by not having to save the original image. In this paper, we propose two improvements and two novel distortion minimization methods for ACERDH [1] method. The experimental results show that the proposed method has higher embedding capacity and lower distortion than ACERDH.
