Abstract
A computer vision method performed by a computing system includes: receiving an image; identifying a light intensity value for each pixel of a set of pixels of the image; defining a light intensity band formed by an upper light intensity threshold and a lower light intensity threshold based on a light intensity distribution of the light intensity values of the set of pixels; for each pixel of the set of pixels, identifying whether that pixel has a light intensity value that is within the light intensity band or outside of the intensity band; and generating a modified image by increasing a light intensity contrast between a first subset of pixels identified as having light intensity values within the light intensity band and a second subset of pixels identified as having light intensity values outside of the light intensity band.
