This study proposed an image enhancing method which is based on the non-local fractional order differential operator. In this method, a matrix form representation of discrete fractional order differentiation is introduced to enhance the digital image, which is effective to reduce the computation error caused by the traditional local approximate method of the fractional order differentiation. The proposed enhancing method is able to make effective use of the whole image information and improve the enhancing performance of the image enhancing algorithm based on the local mask. The color image enhancing strategy based on the non-local fractional differential also is given. A lot of experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of enhancing gray and color image effectively.
