A cubic unsharp masking technique for contrast enhancement
The Cubic Unsharp Masking method is introduced in this paper. It is demonstrated, through both a statistical study and some computer simulations, that the proposed method has a much reduced noise sensitivity with respect to the linear unsharp masking technique and it permits to obtain perceptually pleasant results. The proposed operator also compares favourably with other algorithms which recen...
متن کاملA Rational Unsharp Masking Technique
The linear Unsharp Masking technique used in image contrast enhancement is modiied in this paper, by introducing a control term expressed as a rational function of the local input data. In this way, noise ampliication is avoided and, at the same time, overshoot eeects on sharp edges are limited. Experimental results support the validity of the method, even as a preprocessor for interpolation sy...
متن کاملAdaptive Unsharp Masking for Contrast Enhancement
A new scheme of unsharp masking for image contrast enhancement is presented in this paper. An adaptive algorithm is introduced so that a sharpening action is performed only in locations where the image exhibits signiicant dynamics. Hence, the ampliication of noise in smooth areas is reduced. An adaptive directional l-tering is also performed so as to provide suitable emphasis to the diierent di...
متن کاملNonlinear unsharp masking methods for image contrast enhancement
In the unsharp masking approach for image enhancement, a fraction of the highpass filtered version of the image is added to the original image to form the enhanced version. The method is simple, but it suffers from two serious drawbacks. First, it enhances the contrast in the darker areas perceptually much more strongly than that in the lighter areas. Second, it enhances the noise and/or digiti...
متن کاملEvaluation of optical unsharp masking and contrast enhancement of low-scatter chest radiographs.
Conventional chest radiography poses a challenging technical problem because of its requirement for simultaneous high-contrast display and wide-latitude recording across the entire image. We developed and evaluated a method of producing chest radiographs by using a tantalum air-interspace grid for highly efficient scatter rejection, wide-latitude X-ray film for recording the low-scatter image, ...
