A new algorithm for feature and contrast enhancement of mammographic images is proposed in this paper. The approach bases on multiscale transform and mathematical morphology. First of all, the Laplacian Gaussian pyramid operator is applied to transform the mammography into different scale subband images. In addition, the detail or high frequency subimages are equalized by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and low-pass subimages are processed by mathematical morphology. Finally, the enhanced image of feature and contrast is reconstructed from the Laplacian Gaussian pyramid coefficients modified at one or more levels by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization and mathematical morphology, respectively. The enhanced image is processed by global nonlinear operator. The experimental results show that the presented algorithm is effective for feature and contrast enhancement of mammogram. The performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is measured by contrast evaluation criterion for image, signal-noise-ratio (SNR), and contrast improvement index (CII).

Background Contrast

Mammography is the most reliable, effective, low cost and highly sensitive method for early detection of breast cancer. Mammogram analysis usually refers to the processing of mammograms with the goal of finding abnormality presented in the mammogram. Mammogram enhancement is one of the most critical tasks in automatic mammogram image analysis. Main purpose of mammogram enhancement is to enhance the contrast of details and subtle features while suppressing the background heavily. In this paper, a hybrid approach is proposed to enhance the contrast of microcalcifications while suppressing the background heavily, using fuzzy logic and mathematical morphology. First, mammogram is fuzzified using Gaussian fuzzy membership function whose bandwidth is computed using Kapur measure of entropy. After this, mathematical morphology is applied on fuzzified mammogram. Mathematical morphology provides tools for the extraction of microcalcifications even if the microcalcifications are located on a nonuniform background. Main advantage of Kapur measure of entropy over Shannon entropy is that Kapur measure of entropy has α and β parameters that can be used as adjustable values. These parameters can play an important role as tuning parameters in the image processing chain for the same class of images. Experiments have been conducted on images of mini-Mammogram Image Analysis Society (MIAS) database (UK). Experiment results of the proposed approach are compared with histogram equalization (HE), contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and fuzzy histogram hyperbolization (FHH) which are well-established image enhancement techniques. In order to validate the results, several different kinds of standard test images (fatty, fatty-glandular and dense-glandular) of mini-MIAS database are considered. Objective image quality assessment parameters: Target-to-background contrast enhancement measurement based on standard deviation (TBCSD), target-to-background contrast enhancement measurement based on entropy (TBCE), contrast improvement index (CII), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and average signal-to-noise ratio (ASNR) are used to evaluate the performance of proposed approach. The experimental results show that the proposed approach performs well. This study can be a part of developing a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for early detection of breast cancer.

The objective of this paper is to improve the general quality of infrared images by proposes an algorithm relying upon strategy for infrared images (IR) enhancement. This algorithm was based on two methods: adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). The contribution of this paper is on how well contrast enhancement improvement procedures proposed for infrared images, and to propose a strategy that may be most appropriate for consolidation into commercial infrared imaging applications.The database for this paper consists of night vision infrared images were taken by Zenmuse camera (FLIR Systems, Inc) attached on MATRIC100 drone in Karbala city. The experimental tests showed significant improvements.

Abstrak: Di Indonesia kanker paru menjadi penyebab kematian kedua setelah kanker payudara. Angka mortalitas yang cukup tinggi, maka penentuan diagnosis lebih awal memegang peranan yang sangat penting dalam manajemen terapi. Kelemahan CT-Scan dalam mendiagnosa kanker paru-paru disebabkan oleh kontras citra yang rendah dan derau pada citra. Pada penelitian ini akan membandingkan metode contrast enhancement berbasis histogram equalization dan contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization untuk meningkatkan kualitas citra dengan menggunakan software Matlab. Namun, sebelumnya dilakukan reduksi noise dengan menggunakan metode median filter. Kinerja dari setiap metode dihitung dengan mencari nilai MSE (Mean Square Error) dan PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) citra. Dari nilai MSE dan PSNR yang di dapatkan diperoleh nilai MSE dan PSNR terbaik pada metode contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization dengan nilai 653,434 dB dan 245,547 dB.
