This letter introduces color constancy and Retinex theory for image enhancement.It clas- sifies Retinex algorithms into four categories and provides their principles and implementations in general.The experimental results of Frankle-McCann,MSR (Multi-Scale Retinex) and PNSD (Pro- jected Normalized Steepest Descent) Retinex algorithms are presented and compared.Moreover, variance and average gradient are proposed to evaluate the performance of the different algorithms.
