Prepare image for further processing steps for specific applications

Image enhancement: Pre-processing

• Spatial domain techniques: Find a transformation T

f(x,y) g(x,y)• Frequency domain techniques

• f(x,y) F(u,v) G(u,v) g(x,y) F-1F T

T

Image Enhancement in spatial domain

• Brightness Transform: 1. Position Dependent

f(i,j)= g(i,j). e(i,j)g:Clean imagee:position dependent noise

2. Gray scale Transform

Gray scale transform: s=T(r)

• r original color, s transformed color

Histogram processing

• Given an image with L gray levels• h(rk) = nk

• rk: kth gray level

• nk: number of pixels with gray level rk

• Normalized histogramP(rk) = nk/NN:total number of pixels

Histograms of various image

Histogram Equalization

Find a transformation which yields a histogram with uniform density

?

Histogram of a dark image

Equalized Histogram

Specified Histogram

Local Histogram Equalization

Local ProcessingConvolution or Correlation: f*h

Define a mask and correlate it with the image

SMOOTHING

Image Enhancement WITH SMOOTING

Averaging blurrs the image

Image Enhancement WITH AVERAGING AND THRESHOLDING

Restricted Averaging

• Apply averaging to only pixels with brightness value outside a predefined interval.

Mask h(i,j) = 1 For g(m+i,n+j)€ [min, max]

0 otherwise

Q: Study edge strenght smoothing, inverse gradient and rotating mask

Median Filtering

• Find a median value of a given neighborhood.

• Removes sand like noise

Edge detectors

What is edge?

• Edges are the pixels where the brightness changes abrubtly.

• It is a vector variable with magnitude and direction

EDGE PROFILES

Continuous world first derivativeGradient

• Δg(x,y) = ∂g/ ∂x + ∂g/ ∂y• Magnitude: |Δg(x,y) | = √ (∂g/ ∂x)2 + (∂g/ ∂y) 2 • Phase : Ψ = arg (∂g/ ∂x , ∂g/ ∂y) radians

Continuous world second derivativeLaplacian

• Δ2g(x,y) = ∂2g/ ∂2 x + ∂2 g/ ∂2 y
