چکیده

The identification of brain infarct in computed tomography (CT) images is difficult due the nature appearance of the infarct tissues similar to the normal tissues in the brain CT images. In this paper, a histogram-based colorization method is presented in order to enhance the visualization and interpretation of brain CT images. The presented is aimed to improve the diagnosis of brain CT images, in terms of shortening the duration and minimizing the human error. The presented approach performs contrast stretching on the brain CT images and applies colorization to the contrast-stretched images based on standard parameters which is set from the observation of the histogram of the images.

Automated Colorization of Grayscale Images Using Texture Descriptors

A novel example-based process for automated colorization of grayscale images using texture descriptors (ACTD) without any human intervention is proposed. By analyzing a set of sample color images, coherent regions of homogeneous textures are extracted. A multi-channel filtering technique is used for texture-based image segmentation. For each area of interest, state of the art texture descriptor...
