======================
Histogram Equalization
======================
This examples enhances an image with low contrast, using a method called
*histogram equalization*, which "spreads out the most frequent intensity
values" in an image [1]_. The equalized image has a roughly linear cumulative
distribution function.
While histogram equalization has the advantage that it requires no parameters,
it sometimes yields unnatural looking images. An alternative method is
*contrast stretching*, where the image is rescaled to include all intensities
that fall within the 2nd and 98th percentiles [2]_.
