Adaptive Sigmoid Function to Enhance Low Contrast Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Image enhancement is one of the most important issues in lowlevel image processing. Mainly, enhancement methods can be classified into two classes: global and local methods. Various enhancement schemes are used for enhancing an image which includes gray scale manipulation, filtering and Histogram Equalization (HE).Histogram Equalization (HE) has proved to be a simple and effective image contrast enhancement technique. In this paper, the global histogram equalization is improved by using sigmoid function combined with local enhancement statistics. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can enhance the images effectively. The performances of the existing techniques and the proposed method are evaluated in terms of SNR, PSNR, CoC. Keywordscontrast enhancement, sigmoid function, Histogram Equalization, image processing

Efficient algorithm for contrast enhancement of natural images
This paper proposed an efficient algorithm for contrast enhancement of natural images. The contrast of images is very important characteristics by which the quality of images can be judged as good or poor. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: In the first stage the poor quality of an image is processed by modified sigmoid function. In the second stage the output of the first stage is ...

متن کاملParallel Beamformation Method to Enhance Ultrasound Images
Contrast resolution and detail resolution are two important parameters in ultrasound imaging. This paper presents a new method to enhance these parameters, simultaneously. A parallel auxiliary beamformer has been employed whose weightings are such that an estimation of the leaked signal through the main beamformer is obtained. Then the output of main beamformer is modified according to the ...

Medical ultrasound imaging due to close behavior of cancer tumors to body tissues has a low contrast. This problem with synthetic aperture imaging method has been addressed. Although the synthetic aperture imaging technique solved the low-contrast problem of ultrasound images, to an acceptable limit, but the performance of these methods is not even acceptable when the signal to noise ratio (SNR...
متن کاملDetection of Microcalcification Using the Wavelet Based Adaptive Sigmoid Function and Neural Network
Mammogram images are sensitive in nature and even a minor change in the environment affects the quality of the images. Due to the lack of expert radiologists, it is difficult to interpret the mammogram images. In this paper an algorithm is proposed for a computer-aided diagnosis system, which is based on the wavelet based adaptive sigmoid function. The cascade feed-forward back propagation tech...
