The image enhancement is the well-known concept among the researchers as in the area of image enhancement a lot of work has been done by several authors but also more amendments can be done. In the image enhancement method not only a large number of techniques but also some ways to enhance the image are existed. The contrast enhancement or to improve the brightness of the image is one of the way to improve the quality of the image. This study develops a new approach for image contrast enhancement by considering HSI colour model and fuzzy inference system to improve the intensity of the image pixels. The simulation is done by taking a set of four different images into an account. The simulation results with respect to the Detail Variance and Background Variance of the images describes that the proposed work performs outstanding comparative to the traditional methods that are GLE, Enhanced AHE and original image.
