This example shows several image enhancement approaches. Three functions are particularly suitable for contrast enhancement:
imadjust
, histeq
, and adapthisteq
. This example compares their use for enhancing grayscale and truecolor images. Apollo one 2 03 – feature rich media viewer.Enhance Grayscale Images
Using the default settings, compare the effectiveness of the following three techniques:
imadjust
increases the contrast of the image by mapping the values of the input intensity image to new values such that, by default, 1% of the data is saturated at low and high intensities of the input data.histeq
performs histogram equalization. It enhances the contrast of images by transforming the values in an intensity image so that the histogram of the output image approximately matches a specified histogram (uniform distribution by default).adapthisteq
performs contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization. Unlikehisteq
, it operates on small data regions (tiles) rather than the entire image. Each tile's contrast is enhanced so that the histogram of each output region approximately matches the specified histogram (uniform distribution by default). The contrast enhancement can be limited in order to avoid amplifying the noise which might be present in the image.

Notice that
imadjust
had little effect on the image of the tire, but it caused a drastic change in the case of pout. Plotting the histograms of pout.tif
and tire.tif
reveals that most of the pixels in the first image are concentrated in the center of the histogram, while in the case of tire.tif
, the values are already spread out between the minimum of 0 and maximum of 255 thus preventing imadjust
from being effective in adjusting the contrast of the image.Histogram equalization, on the other hand, substantially changes both images. Many of the previously hidden features are exposed, especially the debris particles on the tire. Unfortunately, at the same time, the enhancement over-saturates several areas of both images. Notice how the center of the tire, part of the child's face, and the jacket became washed out.
Concentrating on the image of the tire, it would be preferable for the center of the wheel to stay at about the same brightness while enhancing the contrast in other areas of the image. In order for that to happen, a different transformation would have to be applied to different portions of the image. The Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization technique, implemented in
adapthisteq
, can accomplish this. The algorithm analyzes portions of the image and computes the appropriate transformations. A limit on the level of contrast enhancement can also be set, thus preventing the over-saturation caused by the basic histogram equalization method of histeq
. This is the most sophisticated technique in this example.Enhance Color Images
Contrast enhancement of color images is typically done by converting the image to a color space that has image luminosity as one of its components, such as the L*a*b* color space. Contrast adjustment is performed on the luminosity layer 'L*' only, and then the image is converted back to the RGB color space. Manipulating luminosity affects the intensity of the pixels, while preserving the original colors.
Read an image into the workspace. The
'shadow.tif'
image is an indexed image, so convert the image to a truecolor (RGB) image. Then, convert the image from the RGB color space to the L*a*b* color space.The values of luminosity span a range from 0 to 100. Scale the values to the range [0 1], which is the expected range of images with data type
double
.Perform the three types of contrast adjustment on the luminosity channel, and keep the a* and b* channels unchanged. Convert the images back to the RGB color space.

Acoustic enhancement, also called posterior enhancement or enhanced through transmission, refers to the increased echoes deep to structures that transmit sound exceptionally well.
This is characteristic of fluid filled structures such as cysts, the urinary bladder and the gallbladder. The fluid only attenuates the sound less than the surrounding tissue. The time gain compensation (TGC) overcompensates through the fluid-filled structure causing deeper tissues to be brighter. Simply it is seen as increased echogenicity (whiteness) posterior to cystic area. The presence of acoustic enhancement aids in the identification of cystic masses but some solid masses, especially lymphoma, may also show acoustic enhancement posteriorly.
