Abstract

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.
