Image processing is the use of algorithms to perform various operations on digital images. The techniques that are explained further are image segmentation and image enhancement. Image Segmentation is a method to partition an image into multiple segments, to change the presentation of an image into something more meaningful and easier to analyze. The current image segmentation techniques include region-based segmentation and edge detection segmentation. Image Enhancement is the process of improving the quality of image. Under this section there are two broad divisions- Spatial Domain Technique and Frequency Domain Technique.

A vital step in automation of plant root disease diagnosis is to extract root region from the input images in an automatic and consistent manner. However, performance of segmentation algorithm over root images directly depends on the quality of input images. During acquisition, the captured root images are distorted by numerous external factors like lighting conditions, dust and so on. Hence it is essential to incorporate an image enhancement algorithm as a pre-processing step in the plant root disease diagnosis module. Image quality can be improved either by manipulating the pixels through spatial or frequency domain. In spatial domain, images are directly manipulated using their pixel values and alternatively in frequency domain, images are indirectly manipulated using transformations. Spatial based enhancement methods are considered as favourable approach for real time root images as it is simple and easy to understand with low computational complexity. In this study, real time banana root images were enhanced by attempting with different spatial based image enhancement techniques. Different classical point processing methods (contrast stretching, logarithmic transformation, power law transformation, histogram equalization, adaptive histogram equalization and histogram matching) and fuzzy based enhancement methods using fuzzy intensification operator and fuzzy if-then rule based methods were tried to enhance the banana root images. Quality of the enhanced root images obtained through different classical point processing and fuzzy based methods were measured using no-reference image quality metrics, entropy and blind image quality index. Hence, this study concludes that fuzzy based method could be deployed as a suitable image enhancement algorithm while devising the image processing modules for banana root disease diagnosis.

To improve the interpretability or perception of information in images for human viewers is the main goal of image enhancement. Aiming at the problem that image edges are difficult to determine due to artefacts, plaques, and vascular branches in cardiovascular ultrasound, an edge ultrasound imaging detection algorithm based on spatial-frequency-domain image enhancement is proposed to improve the clarity of ultrasound images. Firstly, this paper uses the space-frequency-domain enhancement algorithm to enhance the image. This algorithm overcomes the problem of low contrast of conventional algorithms. The enhanced data matrix is used as the cost matrix, and then, the heuristic image search method is used to search the image of the cost matrix. The results show that the use of spatial-frequency-domain image ultrasound imaging algorithm can improve the contrast and sharpness of ultrasound images of cardiovascular disease, which can make the middle edge of the image clearer, the detection accuracy rate is increased to 92.76%, and the ultrasound of cardiovascular disease is improved. The edge of the image gets accuracy. The paper confirms that the ultrasound imaging algorithm based on spatial-frequency-domain image enhancement is worthy of application in clinical ultrasound image processing. The performance of the proposed technique is 32.54%, 75.30%, 21.19%, 21.26%, and 11.10% better than the existing technique in terms of edge energy, detail energy, sharpness, contrast, and information entropy, respectively.
