Image Details

The low contrast medical images seriously affect the clinical diagnosis process. To improve the image quality, we propose an effective medical images contrast enhancement technique in this paper. Shear wavelet transformation is used for decomposition of image components into low-frequency and high-frequency. The low-frequency part contrast is adjusted by applying modified contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). The resultant image is further processed through technique of fuzzy contrast enhancement to maintain the spectral information of an image. Results of the experimentation show that our proposed technique enhance the image contrast up to a good degree while preserving the image details.

Abstrak: Di Indonesia kanker paru menjadi penyebab kematian kedua setelah kanker payudara. Angka mortalitas yang cukup tinggi, maka penentuan diagnosis lebih awal memegang peranan yang sangat penting dalam manajemen terapi. Kelemahan CT-Scan dalam mendiagnosa kanker paru-paru disebabkan oleh kontras citra yang rendah dan derau pada citra. Pada penelitian ini akan membandingkan metode contrast enhancement berbasis histogram equalization dan contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization untuk meningkatkan kualitas citra dengan menggunakan software Matlab. Namun, sebelumnya dilakukan reduksi noise dengan menggunakan metode median filter. Kinerja dari setiap metode dihitung dengan mencari nilai MSE (Mean Square Error) dan PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) citra. Dari nilai MSE dan PSNR yang di dapatkan diperoleh nilai MSE dan PSNR terbaik pada metode contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization dengan nilai 653,434 dB dan 245,547 dB.

A new algorithm for feature and contrast enhancement of mammographic images is proposed in this paper. The approach bases on multiscale transform and mathematical morphology. First of all, the Laplacian Gaussian pyramid operator is applied to transform the mammography into different scale subband images. In addition, the detail or high frequency subimages are equalized by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and low-pass subimages are processed by mathematical morphology. Finally, the enhanced image of feature and contrast is reconstructed from the Laplacian Gaussian pyramid coefficients modified at one or more levels by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization and mathematical morphology, respectively. The enhanced image is processed by global nonlinear operator. The experimental results show that the presented algorithm is effective for feature and contrast enhancement of mammogram. The performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is measured by contrast evaluation criterion for image, signal-noise-ratio (SNR), and contrast improvement index (CII).
