Abstract

We presents results obtained by different contrast enhancement methods applied to medical images. We take into account classical histogram specification, local and wavelet-based techniques and a novel approach for multiscale contrast enhancement. The latter, whose rationale grounds in theories of visual perception, exploits a local definition of the Fechner-Weber's contrast within the context of a non-linear scale-space representation generated by anisotropic diffusion. Our experimental fields concerns a difficult kind of medical images, namely digital mammographic images.
