Contrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Contrast detection facilitation by spatially separated targets and inducers
We measured contrast detection thresholds for a small (3.6 x 3.6 arc min) square target in the presence and absence of spatially identical pedestal stimuli, and of a spatially non-overlapping inducing line (3.6 x 23 arc min). Results for the pedestal stimuli replicated the classical "dipper function", thresholds being reduced by near-threshold pedestals and increased at higher pedestal contrast...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity revealed by microsaccades.
Microsaccades are small rapid and involuntary eye movements that occur during fixation in an apparently stochastic manner. They are known to be inhibited in response to sensory transients, with a time course that depends on the stimulus parameters and attention. However, the temporal precision of their onsets and the degree to which they can be used to assess the response of the visual system t...
متن کاملResolution-dependence of perceived contrast of textures
Spurred by technological improvements, displays (as well as printers) are increasingly available in a wide range of resolutions. Increased resolution improves perceptual quality in at least two different ways: reducing the perceived contrast of undesirable artifacts (such as halftoning or dithering textures), and increasing the perceived contrast of desirable image features (particularly when r...
