Even if digital radiography is performed using modern procedures, which allow viewing and enlarging the image on the computer monitor, sometimes, due to the distortions introduced by the equipment or the need to perform a thorough analysis with a high degree of precision, image processing is required. For this matter, in this paper we present a software application created to help the dental practitioners, when they need a clear image, to discover the dental diseases or other submicroscopic problems on the dental surface, in the incipient phase, bone loss or any other problems that cannot be seen from a medical image, mainly due to the distortions introduced by the equipment. The advantages of dental image processing consist of brightness adjustment (attenuation, accentuation), contrast adjustment (attenuation, accentuation), image negation, histogram equalization, color transformation or noise removal. The paper describes the software accomplishment and implementation of filtering algorithms, which are efficient compared to the existing solutions, which can be used to improve the quality of the medical imaging. The algorithms, implemented in Java, are obtained by modifying the operators and procedures of the fundamental algorithms

Skin cancer is one of the perilous forms of cancer that most recently occurred in preceding and in recent years as well. Early detection of skin cancer is curable and it eliminates the cost that is spent on the advanced treatment. Skin cancer mainly occurs due to exposure to sun’s ultraviolet radiation and other environmental threats. It can be categorized into, Melanoma and Non-Melanoma. Melanoma is dangerous one. Once it is occurred it starts spreading across other parts of the body if not treated in the early stages. Non-Melanoma is a static cancer which does not affect the normal cells of the skin. This paper aims to develop an application to detect skin cancer and stage prediction using Image Processing Techniques. Stage is predicted, so that the treatment for the same is done without any delay. Skin cancer affected image is taken as input and various preprocessing techniques is applied for the same. The Preprocessing Techniques such as Noise Removal is applied on the image to filter out the noise. Filtered image is enhanced using Histogram Equalization and image is segmented to extract the affected portion. The Area, Perimeter and Eccentricity values are calculated for the affected portion of the skin. The values are then fed into the Neural Networks using Back Propagation algorithm in order to predict the Stage and type of the Skin cancer.

Reflection Image

Glass reflection image displays unclear or suboptimal visuals, such as overlapping images that blend with overlapping displays, so objects in images that have information and should be able to be processed for advanced research in the field of image processing or computer graphics do not give the impression so that research can be done. Improvement of overlapping images can be separated by displaying one of the image objects, the method that can be used is the Contras Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) method. CLAHE can improve the color and appearance of objects that are not clear on the image. Images that experience cases such as glass reflection images can be increased in contrast values to separate or accentuate one of the objects contained in the image using the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) method.Keywords: Digital Image, Glass Reflection, Contrast, CLAHE, YIQ.

Image processing is a technical term useful for modifying images in various ways. In medicine, image processing has a vital role. One example of images in the medical world, namely retinal images, can be obtained from a fundus camera. The retina image is useful in the detection of diabetic retinopathy. In general, direct observation of diabetic retinopathy is conducted by a doctor on the retinal image. The weakness of this method is the slow handling of the disease. For this reason, a computer system is required to help doctors detect diabetes retinopathy quickly and accurately. This system involves a series of digital image processing techniques that can process retinal images into good quality images. In this research, a method to improve the quality of retinal images was designed by comparing the methods for adjusting histogram equalization, contrast stretching, and increasing brightness. The performance of the three methods was evaluated using Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Low MSE values and high PSNR and SNR values indicated that the image had good quality. The results of the study revealed that the image was the best to use, as evidenced by the lowest MSE values and the highest SNR and PSNR values compared to other techniques. It indicated that adaptive histogram equalization techniques could improve image quality while maintaining its information.

In many image processing applications, a wide range of image enhancement techniques are being proposed. Many of these techniques demanda lot of critical and advance steps, but the resultingimage perception is not satisfactory. This paper proposes a novel sharpening method which is being experimented with additional steps. In the first step, the color image is transformed into grayscale image, then edge detection process is applied using Laplacian technique. Then deduct this image from the original image. The resulting image is as expected; After performing the enhancement process,the high quality of the image can be indicated using the Tenengrad criterion. The resulting image manifested the difference in certain areas, the dimension and the depth as well. Histogram equalization technique can also be applied to change the images color.

Image Processing is a significantly desirable in commercial, industrial, and medical applications. Processor based architectures are inappropriate for real time applications as Image processing algorithms are quite intensive in terms of computations. To reduce latency and limitation in performance due to limited amount of memory and fixed clock frequency for synthesis in processor-based architecture, FPGA can be used in smart devices for implementing real time image processing applications. To increase speed of real time image processing custom overlays (Hardware Library of programmable logic circuit) can be designed to run on FPGA fabric. The IP core generated by the HLS (High Level Synthesis) can be implemented on a reconfigurable platform which allows effective utilization of channel bandwidth and storage. In this paper we have presented FPGA overlay design for color transformation function using Xilinx’s python productivity board PYNQ-Z2 to get benefit in performance over a traditional processor. Performance comparison of custom overlay on FPGA and Processor based platform shows FPGA execution yields minimum computation time.

Image enhancement is a quantifying criterion for sharpening and enhancing image quality, where many techniques are empirical with interactive procedures to obtain précised results. The proposed Intensity Histogram Equalization (IHE) approach conquers the noise defects that has a preprocessor to remove noise and enhances image contrast, providing ways to improve the intensity of the image. The preprocessor has the mask production, enlightenment equalization and color normalization for efficient processing of the images which generates a binary image by labeling pixels, overcomes the non-uniform illumination of image and classifies color capacity, respectively. The distinct and discrete mapping function calculates the histogram values and improves the contrast of the image. The performance of IHE is based on noise removal ratio, reliability rate, false positive error measure, Max-Flow Computational Complexity Measure with NDRA and Variation HOD. As the outcome, the different levels of contrast have been significantly improved when evaluated against with the existing systems.
