CIS  601 - Equilization - Tom Gradel

Two images
1) Ship clearly is helped by equalization.  The original was washed out,
and equalization helped this.
2) Whether equalization helped the Mars rock image depends on what you are
looking for.  To me the original identified the interesting features (rocks)
in the landscape.  The equalized version showed too much texture, and the
rockes became too shadowed.

Note: Both images are JPEG grayscale images, which compresses these fairly
large images very nicely, even when stored with minimimum loss (maximum
fidelity).
