Skip histogram equalization for already enhanced images

[micpilon]

Although undesirable, there may be rare cases where the DigitalGlobe archive has already been enhanced before it enters the inference process. In fact, there is a optional parameter when ordering to apply a Dynamic Range Adjustment to the product. From my observations, applying our own in-house enhancement to this type of source greatly affects the quality of the image, making it unusable (see figure)

A suggested solution would be to omit the enhancement step when it is already done by the supplier. Although the approach applied is probably a bit different from ours, I would expect better extractions than for a "double enhanced" image.

Here's how to find that information:
In the METADATA asset of the STAC Item, see the tag
<RADIOMETRICENHANCEMENT>DRA/ACOMP</RADIOMETRICENHANCEMENT> as opposed to expected <RADIOMETRICENHANCEMENT>ACOMP</RADIOMETRICENHANCEMENT>

As found by @micpilon :
ACOMP = atmospheric corrections
DRA = Dynamic Range Adjustment
