Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 醫療資訊管理研究所 === 103 === Image enhancement represents a crucial application in medical imaging. Histogram equalization is one of the image enhancement techniques employed to enhance image contrast, which has become an vital part of general and medical image processing, and has been widely studied and applied. However, traditional histogram equalization achieves poor image enhancement results because it does not consider hue preservation. This study proposes a novel image enhancement method that incorporates hue preservation to address the problem of unpreserved hue in traditional approaches. In addition, this study use the Gabor filter to enhance image details. The results indicated that both methods achieved satisfactory results. Finally, this study proposed methods are applied to retinal and prostate cancer images. This can effectively assist physicians in making professional judgment.
