(13.42)
Thus, the intensity of DHSED is expected to be greater than or equal to that
of DHCED, with equality if A = 255. The difference in average intensity is
intensity = E[y(i;j)j(i;j) 2 W

We also simulate DHSED on Ramp to verify the equations above. The
hidden pattern is still the Column in
Figure 13.15.
The DHSED generated Y

the row-wise average intensity of Y
1
and Y
2
are plotted against the average
intensity of the corresponding row in X. As expected, they are very similar
to X, which verifies (13.39).

is the overlaid image Y . Similar to DHCED, the Y of DHSED
is identical to Y
1
and Y
2
in the W
w
region, with intensity decreasing from top
to bottom. In the W
b
region, the intensity of Y is as high as X at the top
row. But as the intensity of X decreases towards the bottom of the image,
the intensity of Y decreases faster in the center than on the two sides. In
other words, the intensity of Y decreases faster in W
b
than in W
w
, making
W
b
visible in Y .
Similar to DHCED, to show the exact behavior of DHSED in W
b
in Y , we
compute the average intensity in the W
b
for each row of Y and plot it against
the average intensity of the corresponding row in X in
Figure 13.25.
Three
curves are obtained for 3 values of L, namely L = 1; 5; 10. Also shown is the
theoretical curve according to (13.42). It can be observed that the 3 empirical
curves match the theoretical curve very well. This also suggests that the choice
of L does not have much effect on the intensity of W
b
in Y .
We also compute the difference between the average intensity in W
b
and
W
w
regions for each row of Y , and plot this intensity against the average
intensity of the corresponding row in X in
Figure 13.26.
Similarly, the contrast
is computed and plotted in
Figure 13.27.
