Medical images enhancement by using anisotropic filter and CLAHE
Burçin Kurt, Vasif V. Nabiyev, Kemal Turhan · 2012
The purpose of image enhancement is to process an acquired image for better contrast and visibility of features of interest for visual examination as well as subsequent computer-aided analysis and diagnosis. Therefore, we have proposed an algorithm for medical images enhancement. In the study, we used top-hat transform, contrast limited histogram equalization and anisotropic diffusion filter methods. The system results are quite satisfactory for many different medical images like lung, breast, brain, knee and etc.
