Suitable Technique

Medical images require image enhancement, a category of image processing which provides better visualization that make diagnostic more accurate. The most commonly used method for improving the quality of medical image is Contrast enhancement.The main objective is to eliminate the use of contrast dye during the process of MRI scan and to find the parameters MSE, PSNR, AMBE and contrast and compare the result. The histogram equalization (HE) is the widely accepted method which is not productive when the contrast nature differs across the image. Adaptive Histogram Equalization (AHE) overcomes this limitation by considering and developing the mapping for each pixel from the histogram in a neighboring window. Another suitable technique is CLAHE. CLAHE is a refinement of AHE where the enhancement calculation is modified by imposing a user specified level to the height of local histogram. The enhancement is thereby reduced in very uniform areas of the image, which prevents over enhancement of noise and reduces the edge shadowing effect of unlimited AHE. After enhancing the image using AHE and CLAHE the comparison of their parameters is performed.

Image Contrast Enhancement

Contrast Enhancement is a technique which comes into the part of Image Enhancement. Contrast Enhancement is used to enhance the visual quality of any captured or other image. Contrast Enhancement can be performed with the help of Histogram equalization (HE). In this technique, the image is collected in the gray scale allocation. The image is then partitioning and applying adaptive Histogram equalization (AHE). Fuzzy logic provides a set of logics which enhance the contrast and visibility of any image. In this technique, the visual quality and the contrast of image will change and then compare these results with previous techniques. The performance of several established image enhancement techniques is presented in terms of different parameters like Absolute mean brightness error (AMBE), Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), contrast and Visual quality.

For the low illumination and low contrast in the coal mine, images captured from the video monitor system sometimes are not so clear to help the related personal monitoring the production and safety of the mine. According to the special environment of coal mine, an image enhancement method was presented. In this method the impulse noise which is the mainly noise in the coal mine was first reduced with median filtering, then the low contrast and illumination was greatly improved with the improved adaptive histogram equalization. Experiments show that this method can improve the quality of images underground effectively.

Novel Algorithm

Enhancement techniques play a major role in medical image processing, to improve the quality of raw images. This paper proposes a novel algorithm namely wavelet shrinkage adaptive histogram equalization (WSAHE) for medical image enhancement. This algorithm consists of four stages namely, decomposition of images using wavelet transform, application of adaptive histogram equalization on the approximation coefficients, application of shrinkage on the detailed coefficients and the reconstruction of image. Experiments show that the proposed method enhances the image brightness while preserving edges.

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.

When the photos are taken in low light condition, the quality of the results will not meet their expectation. Image Enhancement method can be used to enhance the quality of the photos taken in low light condition. One of the algorithms used is called Histogram Equalization (HE), that works using Histogram basis. The superiority of HE algorithm in enhancing the quality of the photos taken in low light condition is the simplicity of the algorithm itself and it does not need a high specification device for the algorithm to run. One variant of HE algorithm is Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). This paper shows the implementation of HE algorithm and its performance in enhancing the quality of photos taken in low light condition on Android based application and the comparison with CLAHE algorithm. The results show that, HE algorithm is better than CLAHE algorithm.

Here the proposed scheme mainly emphasizes the procedure of histogram equalization of images in more efficient way. Histogram equalization is required for image enhancement. Histogram spreads or flattens the histogram of an image and due to this the pixels with lower intensity values appear darker and the pixels with higher intensity values appear lighter. So the contrast of the input image is improved. For human interpretation various techniques of image enhancement have been widely used in different applications areas of image processing as the subjective quality of images is mainly important
