1. An interactive method to detect, isolate, and visually enhance features in a received digital image comprising the following steps:

  • establishing enhancement parameters governing gain factors, wavelet basis functions, transformation techniques, and enhancement routines;

    establishing at least one range of feature characteristics for enhancement;

    selecting a wavelet basis function based upon said established range;

    selecting gain factors based on said established range;

    transforming at least a portion of said received digital image into the wavelet domain utilizing said selected basis function to obtain transform coefficients;

    enhancing said established range of feature characteristics using said transform coefficients and said selected gain factors to provide enhanced transform coefficients; and

    inversely transforming said enhanced transform coefficients giving an enhanced image.
