Image enhancement using Wavelet transforms and SVD
Habibullah Khan · 2012
Resolution and contrast are the two important attributes of an image. In this paper we developed a method to enhance the quality of the given image. The enhancement is done both with respect to resolution and contrast. The proposed technique uses DWT and SVD. To increase the resolution, the proposed method uses DWT and SWT. These transforms decompose the given image into four sub-bands, out of which one is of low frequency and the rest are of high frequency. The HF components are interpolated using conventional interpolation techniques. Then we use IDWT to combine the interpolated high frequency and low frequency components. To increase the contrast, we use SVD and DWT. The experimental results show that proposed technique gives good results over conventional methods.
