In this work, a novel image enhancement algorithm using NSST and SVD is proposed to improve the definition of the acquired brain images. The input brain image is computed by CLAHE, then the processed brain image and input brain image are decomposed into low- and high-frequency components by NSST, the singular value matrix of the low-frequency component is estimated. The final enhancement image is obtained by inverse NSST. Results of this experiment demonstrate that the proposed technique has good performance in terms of brain image enhancement when compared to other methods.
