Gamma Correction

The gamma transform [2] is a pixel transform in which the input and output pixels are related by the formula: where x is a pixel value in the range [0,1]. For in (0,1] the output image is darker than the input image whereas for greater than one the output image is brighter. In Figure 3 the gamma value 3.3 is applied to the original image (left). The Gamma value is supplied in the corresponding text field. By pressing the ``return'' key the operation of the applet will commence.
