For e.g. For a 3X3 convolution mask the unsharp masking is given by
g g g g 2g t t t2 2 0 -1 0 -1 5 -1 0 -1 0 2 Subtracting Laplacian The degraded image may be expressed in a Taylor series as g(x,y,) = g(x,y,0) + (x,y,t) - + …... Taking = k2g using diffusion model We get fe = g - k2g For k = 1 and mask 3X3 we get subtracting Laplacian as: Unlike Laplacian subtracting Laplacian maintain the intensity information while making the image sharp

High-emphasis filter does the image enhance keeping the intensity information. The Butterworth high-emphasis filter can termed as: H(u,v) = Filter gain Frequency
Original shape image • the ideal high pass filter • The Butter worth highpass filter • the Butterworth high-emphasis filter
Enhancement using Homomorphic filtering linear filtering and enhancement inverse transform transform input image filtered image
Original Image • log transform of original image • Homomorphic filtering including a Butterworth high-emphasis filter • Butterworth high imphasis filter only • Graphical Models and Image Processing, 54(3):259-267,May 1992
Adaptive Contrast Enhancement • Adaptive-neighborhood contrast enhancement: • non overlapping regions segmentation • Overlapping regions segmentation seed fill region growing: The region consists of spatially connected pixels that falls that fall within the specified gray level devaiation from seed pixel. every time data is devided into back ground and foreground pixels The growth tolerance threshold is highly important factor
Adaptive Contrast Enhancement contrast enhancment can be done using the formula fe = b (1+Ce)/ (1-Ce) increased contrast mean background value • Part of mammogram with a cluster of calcification • adaptive-neighborhood contrast enhancement • gamma correction • unsharp masking • IEEE Transcation on Medical imaging 11(3):392-406,1992
