Abstract
A low-cost image processing system and two real-time digital image processing algorithms using parallel processing have been developed to provide automatic equalization of moving images at video frequencies. The algorithms differ in the processing time required and the characteristics of the final image. The system takes an entire image from the video sequence, digitizes it, automatically calculates its histogram and the lowest and highest useful grey levels, equalizes the histogram, and finally converts it to the analogue image. Methods were applied to X-ray fluoroscopy (angiography) images, which are usually saturated or of uniform intensity (low contrast), leading to information loss. An application of these methods is in interventional radiography, which requires images in real time.
