  1. Digital Image Processing Chapter 3: Image Enhancement in the Spatial Domain 15 June 2007

  2. Spatial Domain What is spatial domain The space where all pixels form animage In spatial domain we can represent animageby f(x,y) wherex andy are coordinates along x and y axis with respect to an origin There is duality betweenSpatial andFrequency Domains Usingthe Fourier transform, the word “distance” is lost but the word “frequency” becomes alive. Images in the spatial domain are pictures in thexyplane where the word “distance” is meaningful.

  3. Image Enhancement Image Enhancement means improvement of images to be suitable for specific applications. Example: Note: each image enhancement technique that is suitable for one application may not be suitable for other applications. (Images from Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Wood, Digital Image Processing, 2nd Edition.

  4. Image Enhancement Example Original image Enhanced image using Gamma correction (Images from Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Wood, Digital Image Processing, 2nd Edition.

  5. Image Enhancement in the Spatial Domain = Image enhancement using processes performed in the Spatial domainresulting in images in theSpatial domain. We can written as wheref(x,y) is an original image, g(x,y) is an output and T[ ] isa function defined in the area around(x,y) Note: T[ ] may haveone input asa pixel value at(x,y) only or multiple inputsaspixels inneighbors of(x,y) depending in each function. Ex. Contrast enhancement uses apixel value at (x,y) only for an input while smoothing filte use several pixels around (x,y) as inputs.

  6. Types of Image Enhancement in the Spatial Domain - Single pixel methods - Gray level transformations Example - Historgram equalization - Contrast stretching - Arithmetic/logic operations Examples - Image subtraction - Image averaging - Multiple pixel methods Examples Spatial filtering - Smoothing filters - Sharpening filters

  7. Gray Level Transformation Transformsintensity of an original image intointensity of an output image using a function: wherer =input intensity ands =output intensity Example: Contrast enhancement (Images from Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Wood, Digital Image Processing, 2nd Edition.

  14. Contrast Stretching Contrast means the difference between the brightest and darkest intensities Before contrast enhancement After (Images from Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Wood, Digital Image Processing, 2nd Edition.

  15. How to know where the contrast is enhanced ? • Notice the slope ofT(r) • ifSlope > 1 Contrast increases • ifSlope < 1 Contrast decrease • ifSlope = 1 no change Ds Dr Smaller Dr yieldswider Ds = increasing Contrast (Images from Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Wood, Digital Image Processing, 2nd Edition.
