Traditional medical image enhancement method has some disadvantages. They can not significantly improve the medical image edge, texture and detailed information. Besides the enhancement effect is susceptible to interference noise information. This paper proposed enhancement algorithms combining bidimensional empirical mode decomposition and the wavelet edge enhancement method. The first step is using the method of bidimensional empirical mode decomposition to process medical image, achieve image information with different frequency. And then our method using wavelet transform to enhance different frequency image edge, texture information. Through the comparison of proposed method with the existing method, it has been verified the proposed method has a better effect in the detail enhancement of medical images.

Abstract It is important to recognize the type of cloud for automatic observation by ground nephoscope. Although cloud shapes are protean, cloud textures are relatively stable and contain rich information. In this paper, a novel method is presented to extract the nephogram feature from the Hilbert spectrum of cloud images using bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD). Cloud images are first decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of textural features through BEMD. The IMFs are converted from two- to one-dimensional format, and then the Hilbert–Huang transform is performed to obtain the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum. It is shown that the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum of different types of cloud textural images can be divided into three different frequency bands. A recognition rate of 87.5%–96.97% is achieved through random cloud image testing using this algorithm, indicating the efficiency of the proposed method for cloud nephogram.
