Histogram Equalization
Assuming that in your question $T(r)$ denotes a map $:\mathbb{R}\to[0,1]$ and assuming that it is continuous and strictly increasing, then it is obviously an isomorphism among $r\in[0,1]$ onto its ...

What Is a Weighted Local Histogram?
A weighted local histogram would mean filtering the image $I(x,y)$ with a localised filter $H(x,y)$ (gaussian in this example). The resultant image is the 2D convolution $Y(x,y) = I(x,y)*H(x,y)$. The ...

From Uniform to 2D gaussian
The Gaussian distribution is separable. Apply your transformation to each coordinate separately and you will get a 2D Gaussian.
If $G(x)$ is a 1D Gaussian, then $G(x) G(y)$ is a 2D Gaussian.
Thus, ...
