Contrast Enhancement:
3.3.1 Histogram equalization
This method usually increases the global contrast of many images, especially when the usable data of the image is represented by close contrast values. Through this adjustment, the intensities can be better distributed on the histogram. This allows for areas of lower local contrast to gain a higher contrast. Histogram equalization accomplishes this by effectively spreading out the most frequent intensity values.
The method is useful in images with backgrounds and foregrounds that are both bright or both dark. In particular, the method can lead to better views of bone structure in x-ray images, and to better detail in photographs that are over or under-exposed. A key advantage of the method is that it is a fairly straightforward technique and an invertible operator. So in theory, if the histogram equalization function is known, then the original histogram can be recovered. The calculation is not computationally intensive. A disadvantage of the method is that it is indiscriminate. It may increase the contrast of background noise, while decreasing the usable signal.
In scientific imaging where spatial correlation is more important than intensity of signal (such as separating DNA fragments of quantized length), the small signal to noise

Also histogram equalization can produce undesirable effects (like visible image gradient) when applied to images with low color depth. For example, if applied to 8-bit image displayed with 8-bit gray-scale palette it will further reduce color depth (number of unique shades of gray) of the image. Histogram equalization will work the best when applied to images with much higher color depth than palette size, like continuous data or 16-bit gray-scale
The histogram has one spike that shows that high concentration of data values is below this point. This histogram might be representing a seasonal product, which customers are ordering high volume of product until they run out and order one more time. Also it might be showing the histogram of a car brand were less expensive cars are sold frequently, but in average the middle range cars are bringing to the company more capital and high luxury cars are sold more expensive and less frequently.
Shi Et al [13] used a local projection profile at each pixel of the image, and transform the original image into an adaptive local connectivity map (ALCM). For this process, first the gray scale image is reversed so the foreground pixels (text) have idensity values of up to 255. Then the image is downsample to ¼ of each size, ½ in each direction. Next a sliding window of size 2c scans the image from left to right, and right to left in order to compute the cumulative idensity of every neighborhood. This technique is identical to computing the projection profile of every sliding window, (i.e. counting the foreground pixels), but instead of outpiting a projection profile histogram, the entire sliding window sum is saved on the ALCM image.

It is a design method that used to avoid data redundancy and eliminate uncoordinated relationship. Normalisation has six stages to help with separate data which are UNF, 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, BCNF, 4NF and 5NF.
In accession to the binary images, the proposed method may be tested on discrete color images also. These type of
However,the conventional DWI have some notable limitations. DWI image does not involve the T2-weighted sequence information and thus cannot provide specific localization and biological structure information. Furthermore, though DWI illustrates the water distribution due to the tissue structure, the intracellular and extracellular water signal has been mixed together. And inherent spatial distortion issues caused by field inhomogeneities are not
It is used to correct defects illumination, eliminating noise and small spots and enhance the contours and contrast as much as possible without degrading the lesion.Preprocessing of the image is concerns with changing the colour image into gray scale image, removing the dark corners in the image and filtering to remove any artefacts in the image.
b represents the bias field that indicates the intensity inhomogeneity. The bias field is slowly varying, which implies that b can be will approximated by a constant in a neighbourhood of each point in the image domain. Energy function has to be minimized within a boundary where the level set evolves. For this a Neumann Boundary condition is defined and is applied to the level set function to get object boundary. Within this specific boundary, the Level Set Evolution process will take place. The level set function is obtained by taking the signed function of randomized image and has values 0, 1, and -1. Local intensity clustering property indicates that the image can be segmented into three regions based on the values of level set function. Standard K-means Criterion is used to classify the local intensity which can be defined as
A sequential study of all the radiographic characteristics of the image helps ensure recognition and collection of all the information contained in the image and in turn improves the accuracy of interpretation.
4 different thresholding algorithms are calculated and the one which covers results of other selected thresholds is applied on the optimal single-channel image
Resolution is the ability to image two separate objects and visually detect one from the other. Spatial resolution refers to the ability to image small objects that have high subject contrast, such as a bone-soft tissue interface, a breast microcalcification, or a calcified lung nodule, conventional radiography has excellent spatial resolution.
In a practical sense, this is a useful way of converting the maximum possible amount of B into C and D; this is advantageous if, for example, B is a relatively expensive material whereas A is cheap and plentiful.
Histograms can explain data sets visually, and we clearly can see that the histogram “time without interference is unimodal positive skewed. We also can see that the histogram “Time with interference” is multimodal and roughly positive skewed.
The field of imaging provides many examples of each biomedical images and biomedical image processing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is quality for displaying abnormalities of the brain equivalent to: stroke, hemorrhage, tumor, multiple sclerosis or lesions. In the MRI normal signals are currents precipitated in a coil brought on via the motion of molecular dipoles as the molecules resume a random orientation after having been aligned with the aid of the imposed magnetic field. Signal processing is required to realize and decode them, which is completed in terms of the spatial locations of the dipoles (which is involving the sort of tissue where they're placed). Much of the related signal processing is based on Fourier transforms. Normally MRI utilizes two-dimensional Fourier transforms and the general standards are the same.
This section of the review will explain the topic and reasoning into why it was done. The process of its relevance into radiography in practise will also be outlined. This will provide background into positive aspects it could bring.
Firstly I will explain what is signal ,signal processing ,analogue viruses digital signal types of signal processing their advantages and disadvantages and their comparison .I-e which one is better …….why analog signal processing (ASP) is replaced with digital signal processing (DSP).
