The document summarizes three digital image processing techniques demonstrated in MATLAB: 1. Histogram equalization was used to increase contrast in an image by redistributing intensity values. This made low contrast images appear lighter. 2. Gamma correction was used to make images lighter or darker by adjusting the gamma value in the imadjust function. A gamma less than 1 lightened images, while a gamma greater than 1 darkened images. 3. Spatial filtering was performed using a filter mask to lighten images by increasing or decreasing values in the filter. This inverse of gamma correction, with higher filter values lightening images more.
