Methods and apparatus for image enhancement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of enhancing an image, comprising:
- applying at least one multi-scale filter bank to at least a portion of an image to detect at least one edge at different scales; and
combining the detected edges with said image to yield an enhanced to at least a portion of the image;
creating a multi-scale representation of at least a portion of an image; and
applying a nonlinear mapping on a multi-scale highpass subband coefficient.
