Contrast Limited AHE (CLAHE) is a variant of adaptive histogram equalization in which the contrast amplification is limited, so as to reduce this problem of noise amplification. In CLAHE, the contrast amplification in the vicinity of a given pixel value is given by the slope of the transformation function.

How does contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization work?
It computes several histograms, each corresponding to a distinct section of the image, and uses them to redistribute the luminance values of the image. It is therefore suitable for improving the local contrast and enhancing the definitions of edges in each region of an image.
How does the equalization of histogram affect on contrast?
Histogram Equalization is a computer image processing technique used to improve contrast in images . It accomplishes this by effectively spreading out the most frequent intensity values, i.e. stretching out the intensity range of the image.
Does histogram equalization always increase contrast?
Histogram equalization is used to enhance contrast. It is not necessary that contrast will always be increase in this. There may be some cases were histogram equalization can be worse. In that cases the contrast is decreased.
Is histogram equalization the same as contrast stretching?
In Histogram equalization, you want to flatten the histogram into a uniform distribution. In contrast stretching, you manipulate the entire range of intensity values. Like what you do in Normalization. Note that contrast stretching is also called Histogram stretching.
