Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...

At present image processing methods hold a noteworthy position in unravelling various medical imaging challenges. The high risk disorders such as diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic retinopathy are considered as applications for proposed method. The dictum of this paper is on observing enhancement and segmentation of the cross sectional view of a blood capillary of a right coronary artery imag...

one of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. it causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. in the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. this causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. to avoid the repetition of exposing harmful x-rays to the pati...

this paper presents a hybrid technique for image enhancement with ability of de-noising it integrates two different processing aspects into one. The proposed algorithm uses the image abstraction technique for detecting the information density in different parts of image then accordingly operates the smoothing filter and after filtering the information’s of edges are recombined with the filtered...

We propose a general hybrid approach to the issue of reproduction of high dynamic range images on devices with limited dynamic range. Our approach is based on combination of arbitrary global and local tone mapping operators. Recent perceptual studies concerning the reproduction of HDR images have shown high importance of preservation of overall image attributes. Motivated by these findings, we ...

The fundamental and important pre-processing stage in image processing is the image contrast enhancement technique. Histogram equalization is an effective contrast enhancement technique and thus in this paper, a histogram equalization based technique called Quadrant Dynamic with Automatic Plateau Limit Histogram Equalization (QDAPLHE) is introduced. In this method, a hybrid of dynamic and clipp...

Today, Biometric systems are considered superior in technological developments, because they provide a nontransferable means of identifying people not just cards or badges. The image enhancement step is designed to reduce noise in this area. The key point about an identification method that is “nontransferable" means it cannot be given or lent to another individual so nobody can get around the ...
