As an efficient image contrast enhancement (CE) tool, adaptive gamma correction (AGC) was previously proposed by relating gamma parameter with cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the pixel gray levels within an image. ACG deals well with most dimmed images, but fails for globally bright images and the dimmed images with local bright regions. However, such two categories of brightness-distorted images are universal in real scenarios, such as those incurred by improper exposure and white objects. In order to attenuate such deficiencies, in this paper we propose an improved AGC technique. The novel strategy of negative images is used to realize CE of the bright images, and the gamma correction modulated by truncated CDF is employed to enhance the dimmed ones. As such, local over enhancement and structure distortion can be alleviated effectively. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experimental results show that our proposed method yields consistently good CE results. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Maximizing the profit of omnichannel closed-loop supply chains with mean-variance criteria

Jianteng Xu, Qingguo Bai, Zhiwen Li, Lili Zhao

Summary: This study constructs two optimization models for the omnichannel closed-loop supply chain by leveraging the combined power of leader-follower game and mean-variance theories. The focus is on analyzing the performance of manufacturers who distribute products through physical stores. The results show that the risk-averse attitude of the physical store has a positive impact on the overall system profitability, but if the introduced physical store belongs to another firm, total profit experiences a decline.
