Mean impact and effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the related methods.

MCET Methods	Mean Values	Effectiveness
Proposed MCET based on heterogeneous mean	Dedicated Enhancement	Suitable for various intensity distributions, heterogeneous form of mean estimation for different intensity levels in image regions
MCET based on homogeneous mean [15]	Partially enhanced	Limited to single filter role per region, homogeneous form of mean estimation
MCET-hybrid distributions [2]	Steady	Limited to certain mean values, e.g., Gaussian (classical mean) or lognormal definition
