Abstract
The problem of calculating an effective contrast for diffused targets in visual scenery is addressed. The effect of local variations of inte nsity in the vicinity of the target is modeled by considering the dist ribution of the intensity of the edges. The effect of global clutter i s discussed from the vantage point of selecting the best model for bac kground scenery. Generalized contrast measures are described and appli ed to real scenes.
