Image processing is a method of making the quality of an image better after removing unwanted information from image in various applications and domains to process computer effectively. Enhancement is, used to improve the quality effects of an image for further analysis. Enhancement of image can be done by filtering, de noising and contrast enhancement. Even though contrast enhancement of images is applied in different fields it is used effectively in the medical field. Medical Imaging is now recently used in most of the applications like Radiography, MRI, Nuclear medicine, Ultrasound Imaging, Tomography, Cardiograph, and Fundus Imagery and so on. The main problem in analysis of medical images is the poor contras .in medical image analysis the detection of tumor, cancerous cells, malignant or benign has to be classified effectively. In this paper various spatial domain techniques and their effectiveness in terms of quality improvement are discussed. The measuring metrics used for comparing different methods are parameters Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE), DICE coefficient, etc,.

A two Level Image Quality enhancement is proposed in this paper. In the first level, Dualistic Sub-Image Histogram Equalization DSIHE method decomposes the original image into two sub-images based on median of original images. The second level deals with spikes shaped noise that may appear in the image after processing. We presents three methods of image enhancement GHE, LHE and proposed DSIHE that improve the visual quality of images. A comparative calculations is being carried out on above mentioned techniques to examine objective and subjective image quality parameters e.g. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio PSNR values, entropy H and mean squared error MSE to measure the quality of gray scale enhanced images. For handling gray-level images, convenient Histogram Equalization methods e.g. GHE and LHE tend to change the mean brightness of an image to middle level of the gray-level range limiting their appropriateness for contrast enhancement in consumer electronics such as TV monitors. The DSIHE methods seem to overcome this disadvantage as they tend to preserve both, the brightness and contrast enhancement. Experimental results show that the proposed technique gives better results in terms of Discrete Entropy, Signal to Noise ratio and Mean Squared Error values than the Global and Local histogram-based equalization methods

<p>Preliminary diagnosing of MRI images from the hospital cannot be relied on because of the chances of occurrence of artifacts resulting in degraded quality of image, while others may be confused with pathology. Obtained MRI image usually contains limited artifacts. It becomes complex one for doctors in analyzing them. By increasing the contrast of an image, it will be easy to analyze. In order to find the tumor part efficiently MRI brain image should be enhanced properly. The image enhancement methods mainly improve the visual appearance of MRI images. The goal of denoising is to remove the noise, which may corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. In this paper effectiveness of seven denoising algorithms viz. median filter, wiener filter, wavelet filter, wavelet based wiener, NLM, wavelet based NLM, proposed wavelet based weighted median filter(WMF) using MRI images in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is compared. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of various image quality metrics.</p>

Image Detail

Weld quality inspection using industrial radiography is considered to be one of the most important processes in critical industries such as aeronautical manufacturing. The quality of radiographic images of welded industrial parts may suffer from poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the main cause of which is the unavoidable detection of scattered X-rays. Image processing methods may be used to enhance image contrast and achieve improved defect detection. In this study, the outcomes from three different image contrast enhancement spatial domain transform algorithms are analysed and compared. The three algorithms used are normalised convolution (NC), interpolated convolution (IC) and recursive filtering (RF). Based on the results of qualitative operator perception, the study shows that the application of all three methods results in improved image contrast, enabling enhanced visualisation of image detail. Subtle differences in performance between the outputs from the different algorithms are noted, especially around the edges of image features. Furthermore, it is found that RF is approximately two orders of magnitude quicker than the other algorithms, making it more suitable for online weld inspection lines.

One of the most important areas in image processing is medical image processing where the quality of the images has become an important issue. Most of the medical images are corrupted with the visual noise, and one of the such images is echocardiography image where this effect is more. So, this research aims to denoise the echocardiography image with fractal wavelet transform and to compare its performance with other wavelet based algorithm like hard thresholding, soft thresholding and wiener filter. Initially, the image is corrupted by the Gaussian noise with varying noise variances and is denoised using above mentioned different wavelet based denoising techniques. On comparison of the obtained results, it is observed that the fractal wavelet transform is well suited for highly degraded echocardiography images in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal To Noise Ratio (PSNR) than other wavelet based denoising methods. Further, the work could be enhanced to denoise the echocardiography image corrupted by other different types of noise. This research is limited to denoise the echocardiography image corrupted with Gaussian noise only.
