Image enhancement using multiscale differential operators Conference Paper

abstract

• Differential operators have been widely used for multiscale geometric descriptions of images. Efficient computation of these differential operators can be obtained by taking advantage of the spline techniques. In this paper, we make use of a special class of these operators for image enhancement, with a particular application to chromosome image enhancement. These operators constitute a translation invariant wavelet transform well suited for the structural description of chromosome geometry. Based on the fact that the geometrical features like edges are correlated between different scales in the representation, a novel algorithm is designed to enhance the salient features of the image. Comparisons of this algorithm with other approaches are presented.
