A Rational Unsharp Masking Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 systems.

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 Method for TV Applications
In this paper, we present an Unsharp Masking-based approach for edge enhancing for TV application. The proposed scheme enhances the true details, limits the overshoot near sharp edges and attenuates the temporal artifacts which are visible in an image sequence. Simulations show that the processed sequence presents sharp edges which make it more pleasant to the human eye. Moreover, the amount of...
متن کاملDirectional-rational approach for color image enhancement
In this paper, we present an unsharp masking-based approach for noise smoothing and edge enhancing in multichannel images. The proposed structure is similar to the conventional unsharp masking structure, however, the enhancement is allowed only in the direction of maximal change and the enhancement parameter is computed as a nonlinear function of the rate of change. The proposed scheme enhances...
متن کاملRegion Adaptive Unsharp Masking based DCT Interpolation for Efficient Video Intra Frame Up-Sampling
Most of the existing interpolation techniques available in the literature produce a blurring effect while converting a low resolution video to its high resolution counterpart. The blurring results in the loss of fine details and critical edge information of a video intra frame. In order to resolve this problem, an efficient, no reference, hybrid interpolation technique is proposed here. The pro...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Electron Magnetic Resonance Images Using Linear and Non Linear Unsharp Masking Techniques
This paper presents an evaluation of various unsharp masking techniques for enhancement of Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR) images. Both the linear and non-linear unsharp masking techniques are tested for contrast enhancement of continuous wave EMR images. In vivo EMR renal images as well as leg-tumor images of a mouse are used as test images. Both visual appearance as well as Signal to Noise ...
