摘要
An approach of distane map based imageenhancement (DMIE) is proposed. It is applied toconventional interpolations to get sharp images. Edgedetection is performed after images are interpolatedby linear interpolations. To meet the two conditionsset for DMIE, i. e., no abrupt changes and no over-boosting, different boosting rate should be used inadjusting pixel intensities. When the boosting rate isdetermined by using the distance from enhancedpixels to nearest edges, edge-oriented imageenhancement is obtained. By using Erosion technique,the range for pixel intensity adiustment is set.Over-enhancement is avoided by limiting the pixel iutensities in enhancement within the range. A unifled linear-time algoritiml for disance transform is adopted to deal with the calculation of Euelidean distance of the images.Its computation complexity is 0(N).After the preparation,i.e.,distance transforming and erosion,the images get more and more sharpened while no over.boosting.Occurs by repeating the enhancement procedure ,The simplicity of the enhancement operation makes DMIE suitable for enhancement rate adjusting
An approach of distance map based image enhancement (DMIE) is proposed. It is applied to conventional interpolations to get sharp images. Edge detection is performed after images are interpolated by linear interpolations. To meet the two conditions set for DMIE, i. e., no abrupt changes and no overboosting, different boosting rate should be used in adjusting pixel intensities. When the boosting rate is determined by using the distance from enhanced pixels to nearest edges, edge-oriented image enhancement is obtained. By using Erosion technique, the range for pixel intensity adjustment is set. Over-enhancement is avoided by limiting the pixel intensities in enhancement within the range.A unified linear-time algorithm for distance transform is adopted to deal with the calculation of Euclidean distance of the images. Its computation complexity is O (N2 ). After the preparation, i. e.,distance transforming and erosion, the images get more and more sharpened while no over-boosting occurs by repeating the enhancement procedure. The simplicity of the enhancement operation makes DMIE suitable for enhancement rate adjusting.
