چکیده
A B S T R A C T Masking based techniques are well known and effective for contrast enhancement applications. The conventional unsharp masking in which fixed scale value is using irrespective of the types of test images. In this paper we propose an Optimum Green Plane Masking (OGPM) using Enhanced Genetic Algorithm for the contrast enhancement of retinal images. The green plane has more details of retinal images than the other two planes. The EGA can adaptively perform the selection, crossover and mutation of chromosomes. First, the proposed approach is evaluated using the standard test images and real time images for different contrast enhancement techniques and optimization techniques. Finally the proposed approach is used for the enhancement of retinal images. Results are analyzed using various performance measures and our OGPM shows better enhancement than other reported literature.

Image Enhancement Using an Adaptive Un-sharp Masking Method Considering the Gradient Variation
Technical limitations in image capturing usually impose defective, such as contrast degradation. There are different approaches to improve the contrast of an image. Among the exiting approaches, un-sharp masking is a popular method due to its simplicity in implementation and computation. There is an important parameter in un-sharp masking, named gain factor, which affects the quality of the enh...

Analyzing the retinal images is very helpful to diagnose the human eye diseases like Retinopathy and to interpret various problems in medical field. Retinal images quality is usually contaminated by noise and other illumination condition. In order to enhance the quality of retinal images focus should be made on contrast enhancement and noise removal. The best known technique for effective contr...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...
متن کاملA General Framework for 1-D Histogram-baesd Image Contrast Enhancement
In this paper, a general framework for image contrast enhancement algorithm based on an optimization problem is presented. Through this optimization, the intensities can be better distributed. The algorithm is based on the facts that the histogram of the enhanced image is close to the input image histogram and uniform distribution, simultaneously. Based on this fact, we obtain a closed form opt...
