PDE-Based Histogram Modification With Embedded Morphological Processing Of The Level-Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes parallel histogram modification techniques with embedded morphological preprocessing methods within the CNN-UM framework. The procedure is formulated in terms of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) and approximated through finite differences in space, resulting in coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE). The I/O mapping of the system (containing both local and global couplings) can be calculated by a complex analogic (analog and logic) algorithm executed on a stored program nonlinear array processor, called the cellular nonlinear network universal machine (CNN-UM, [3]). We describe and illustrate how the implementation of the algorithm results in an adaptive multi-thresholding scheme when histogram modification is combined with embedded morphological processing at a finite (low) number of grayscale levels. This has obvious advantages if the further processing steps are segmentation and/or recognition. Experimental results processing real-life and echocardiography images are measured on different hardware/software platforms, including a 64x64 CNN-UM chip (ACE4k, [6]).

Shape Preserving Local Histogram Modification - Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on
A novel approach for shape preserving contrast enhancement is presented in this paper. Contrast enhancement is achieved by means of a local histogram equalization algorithm which preserves the level-sets of the image. This basic property is violated by common local schemes, thereby introducing spurious objects and modifying the image information. The scheme is based on equalizing the histogram ...
متن کاملDensity-Based Histogram Partitioning and Local Equalization for Contrast Enhancement of Images
Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...
متن کاملAdaptive Histogram Modification Based Reversible Data Hiding Algorithm for Color Images
In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive histogram modification based reversible data hiding technique for color images. Reversible or Lossless data embedding is a technique that embeds data into an image in a reversible manner. In the conventional reversible technique, the visual quality is not taken into account which resulted in a poor quality of the embedded images. The histogram modi...

A reversible data hiding scheme based on integer DWT and histogram modification is proposed. In the scheme, the cover media is firstly transformed by Integer DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transformation); then information is embedded through the modification of histograms of the middle and high frequency sub-bands of the DWT coefficients. In order to increase the embedding capacity, a multi-level schem...

This report describes the experimental analysis of proposed underwater image enhancement algorithms based on partial differential equations (PDEs). The algorithms perform simultaneous smoothing and enhancement due to the combination of both processes within the PDE-formulation. The framework enables the incorporation of suitable colour and contrast enhancement algorithms within one unified func...
