Abstract: Nighttime video enhancement is one of the most important components in video research as many objects can’t be seen due to poor illumination of the video. The purpose of video enhancement is to improve the visual appearance of the video. In this paper, an overview of video enhancement algorithms are discussed in which the context of the high quality daytime image is added to low quality nighttime image which thus improves the background of the nighttime image, hence enhancing the foreground of the video. In this paper the advantages and issues of the algorithms are also being discussed and a comparative study is done.
