Below are videos that demonstrate the Histogram Equalization filter.

This filter can be used during capture for real-time processing, during conversion or during playback to enhance existing media files.

Examples of Types of Applications

Because histogram equalization helps uncover details in areas that are shrouded in darkness, this filter would be extremely useful in any application that requires cameras in areas that the brightness of the light source changes. A few examples are:

Security applications with cameras outdoors or in darkened rooms.
ATM's (Automatic Teller Machines)
Any application that has a camera in a location that the light level could change.
