This work introduces a program to enhance images taken in low light. Fuzzy set theory is creating a significant shift in image processing. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFS) based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets constructed from fuzzy sets are used to enhance images taken in low light. In the proposed method, first the given low light image is fuzzified by normal fuzzification. Then the fuzzified image is converted to an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy image. This image will be proposed enhanced image after applying the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). The experimental results reveal that the proposed method gives better results when compared with other existing methods like histogram equalization (HE), CLAHE, brightness preserving dynamic fuzzy histogram equalization (BPDFHE), histogram specification approach (HSA). Based on the performance analysis like entropy and correlation coefficient (CC), the proposed method gives better results.
