Abstract

Studying of image enhancement shows that the quality of image heavily relies on human visual system. In this paper, we apply this fact to design a new image enhancement method for medical images that improves the detail regions. First, the eye region of interest (ROI) is segmented; then the Un-sharp Masking (USM) is used to enhance the detail regions. Experiments show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of medical image enhancement and has a significant effect.
