Digital image enhancement and noise filtering by use of local statistics

JS Lee - IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine …, 1980 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Computational techniques involving contrast enhancement and noise filtering on two-
dimensional image arrays are developed based on their local mean and variance. These …

Contrast enhancement using the Laplacian-of-a-Gaussian filter

F Neycenssac - CVGIP: Graphical Models and Image Processing, 1993 - Elsevier
A method of contrast enhancement for digital images is provided. As the method uses the
LoG (Laplacian-of-a-Gaussian) filter, it is not significantly sensitive to noise. It is easy to …

Refined filtering of image noise using local statistics

JS Lee - Computer graphics and image processing, 1981 - Elsevier
An effective algorithm for digital image noise filtering is presented in this paper. Mostnoise
filtering techniques such as Kalman filter and transform domain methods require extensive …

Digital image smoothing and the sigma filter

JS Lee - Computer vision, graphics, and image processing, 1983 - Elsevier
A conceptually simple but effective noise smoothing algorithm is described. This filter is
motivated by the sigma probability of the Gaussian distribution, and it smooths the image …

Automatic contrast enhancement of low-light images based on local statistics of wavelet coefficients

A Łoza, DR Bull, PR Hill, AM Achim - Digital Signal Processing, 2013 - Elsevier
This paper describes a new method for contrast enhancement in images and image
sequences of low-light or unevenly illuminated scenes based on statistical modelling of …

A separable median filter for image noise smoothing

PM Narendra - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and …, 1981 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper investigates some properties of the separable filter resulting from successive
applications of a one-dimensional median filter on the rows and columns of an image …

Adaptive contrast enhancement and de-enhancement

L Dash, BN Chatterji - Pattern Recognition, 1991 - Elsevier
Two different interpolative schemes for adaptive contrast enhancement have been
presented for speeding up the contrast enhancement algorithm proposed by Beghdadi and …

Non-local means denoising

A Buades, B Coll, JM Morel - Image Processing On Line, 2011 - ipol.im
We present in this paper a new denoising method called non-local means. The method is
based on a simple principle: replacing the color of a pixel with an average of the colors of …

Adaptive filters for digital image noise smoothing: An evaluation

GA Mastin - Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, 1985 - Elsevier
Six adaptive noise filtering algorithms were implemented and evaluated. There are (1)
median filtering,(2) K-nearest neighbor averaging,(3) gradient inverse weighted …

A note on parametric image enhancement

JD Tubbs - Pattern Recognition, 1987 - Elsevier
A method for defining image enhancement operators based upon a parametric family is
considered. This family of operators can be used for either context-free or context-sensitive …
