Abstract
Visual enhancement of image plays a very important role in the field of medical imaging. Enhanced medical images are more suitable for analysis and proper diagnosis. We present a novel method of enhancement of color medical images in this paper. We are transforming color space of the image from RGB to HIS followed by application of logarithmic and gamma transformation on saturation and intensity component respectively. Hence we obtain a visually enhanced version of the original image. We have obtained excellent color medical image enhancement results presented in this paper.
Highlights
In the last four decades, there has been a tremendous progress in the area of automation and computer-vision to aid medical professionals for better diagnosis without resorting to surgery
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerized Tomography (CT), Radiography, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) etc. provide medical images containing information about patients, the usefulness of the information is very limited in certain cases
Color image enhancement is a very crucial step in medical imaging and it has been attempted by many researchers before
Summary
In the last four decades, there has been a tremendous progress in the area of automation and computer-vision to aid medical professionals for better diagnosis without resorting to surgery. Medical imaging plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, therapy, medical education and researching. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerized Tomography (CT), Radiography, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) etc. Provide medical images containing information about patients, the usefulness of the information is very limited in certain cases. Recent development in computer-vision and imaging technology helps to improve quality of the color medical images resulting into much improved level of diagnosis. Color image enhancement is a very crucial step in medical imaging and it has been attempted by many researchers before. We present a novel method of color image enhancement based on color space transformation in this paper
