Abstract Image enhancement is an important preprocessing task as the contrast is low in most of the medical images, Therefore, enhancement becomes the mandatory process before actual image processing should start. This research article proposes an enhancement of the model-based differential operator for the images in general and Echocardiographic images, the proposed operators are based on Grunwald-Letnikov (G-L), Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and Caputo (Li & Xie), which are the definitions of fractional order calculus. In this fractional-order, differentiation is well focused on the enhancement of echocardiographic images. This provoked for developing a non-linear filter mask for image enhancement. The designed filter is… More >

Abstract The Hessian matrix has a wide range of applications in image processing, such as edge detection, feature point detection, etc. This paper proposes an image enhancement algorithm based on the Hessian matrix. First, the Hessian matrix is obtained by convolving the derivative of the Gaussian function. Then use the Hessian matrix to enhance the linear structure in the image. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has strong robustness and accuracy. More >
