Interpolation Technique using Non Linear Partial Differential Equation with E...CSCJournals
With the large use of images for the communication, image zooming plays an important role.
Image zooming is the process of enlarging the image with some factor of magnification, where
the factor can be integer or non-integer. Applying zooming algorithm to an image generally results
in aliasing; edge blurring and other artifacts. The main focus of the work presented in this paper is
on the reduction of these artifacts. This paper focuses on reduction of these artifacts and
presents an image zooming algorithm using non-linear fourth order PDE method combined with
edge directed bi-cubic algorithm. The proposed method uses high resolution image obtained from
edge directed bi-cubic interpolation algorithm to construct the zoomed image. This technique
preserves edges and minimizes blurring and staircase effects in the zoomed image. In order to
evaluate image quality obtained after zooming, the objective assessment is performed.

The quality of image holds importance for both humans and machines. To fulfill the requirement of good quality images, image enhancement is needed. Application of a single contrast enhancement technique often does not produce desirable result and may lead to over enhanced images. To overcome this problem image fusion is performed so that better results with desired enhancement can be achieved. In the present paper an amalgamation of image enhancement, fusion and sharpening have been carried out in the candidate algorithm. The algorithm makes use of fuzzy logic for weight calculation. The results are compared with DACE/LIF approach and it is observed that the proposed algorithm improves the result in terms of quality parameters like PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), AMBE (Absolute Mean Brightness Error) and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) by 0.5 dB, 3 and 0.1 respectively from the existing technique.
Image Enhancement using Guided Filter for under Exposed ImagesDr. Amarjeet Singh
Image enhancement becomes an important step to
improve the quality of image and change in the appearance of
the image in such a way that either a human or a machine can
fetch certain information from the image after a change. Due
to low contrast images it becomes very difficult to get any
information out of it. In today’s digital world of imaging
image enhancement is a very useful in various applications
ranging from electronics printing to recognition. For highly
underexposed region, intensity bin are present in darken
region that’s by such images lacks in saturation and suffers
from low intensity. Power law transformation provides
solution to this problem. It enhances the brightness so as
image at least becomes visible. To modify the intensity level
histogram equalization can be used. In this we can apply
cumulative density function and probabilistic density function
so as to divide the image into sub images.
In proposed approach to provide betterment in
results guided filter has been applied to images after
equalization so that we can get better Entropy rate and
Coefficient of correlation can be improved with previously
available techniques. The guided filter is derived from local
linear model. The guided filter computes the filtering output
by considering the content of guidance image, which can be
the image itself or other targeted image.
CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES USING HISTOGRAM EQUALIZATION METHODS ON COLOR...IJCSEA Journal
Histogram equalization (HE) is a simple and widely used image contrast enhancement technique. The basic disadvantage of HE is it changes the brightness of the image. In order to overcome this drawback, various HE methods have been proposed. These methods preserves the brightness on the output image but, does not have a natural look. In order to overcome this problem the, present paper uses Multi-HE methods, which decompose the image into several sub images, and classical HE method is applied to each sub image. The algorithm is applied on various images and has been analysed using both objective and subjective assessment.
Image enhancement plays an important role in vision applications. Recently a lot of work has been performed in the field of image enhancement. Many techniques have already been proposed till now for enhancing the digital images. This paper has presented a comparative analysis of various image enhancement techniques. This paper has shown that the fuzzy logic and histogram based techniques have quite effective results over the available techniques. This paper ends up with suitable future directions to enhance fuzzy based image enhancement technique further. In the proposed technique, an approach is made to enhance the images other than low-contrast images as well by balancing the stretching parameter (K) according to the color contrast. Proposed technique is designed to restore the degraded edges resulted due to contrast enhancement as well.
Abstract
Field of image processing has vast applications in medical, forensic, research etc., It includes various domains like enhancement,
classification, segmentation, etc., which are widely used for these applications. Image Enhancement is the pre processing step on
which the accuracy of the result lies. Image enhancement aims to improve the visual appearance of an image, without affecting
the original attributes (i.e.,) image contrast is adjusted and noise is removed to produce better quality image. Hence image
enhancement is one of the most important tasks in image processing. Enhancement is classified into two categories spatial domain
enhancement and frequency domain enhancement. Spatial domain enhancement acts upon pixel value whereas frequency domain
enhancement acts on the Fourier transform of the image. The enhancement techniques to be used depend on modality, climatic
and visual perspective etc., In this paper, we present a survey on various existing image enhancement techniques.
Keywords: Enhancement, Spatial domain enhancement, Frequency domain enhancement, Contrast, Modality.
In this project we have implemented a tool to inpaint selected regions from an image. Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information. The tool provides a user interface wherein the user can open an image for inpainting, select the parts
of the image that he wants to reconstruct. The tool would then automatically inpaint the selected area according to the background information. The image can
then be saved. The inpainting in based on the exemplar based approach. The basic aim of this approach is to find examples (i.e. patches) from the image and
replace the lost data with it. Applications of this technique include the restoration of old photographs and damaged film; removal of superimposed text like
dates, subtitles etc.; and the removal of entire objects from the image like microphones or wires in special effects.
A Novel Color Image Fusion for Multi Sensor Night Vision ImagesEditor IJCATR
In this paper presents a simple and fast color fusion approach for night vision images. Image fusion involves merging of two
or more images in such a way, to get the most advantageous characteristics of each image. Here the Visible image is fused with the
InfraRed (IR) image, so the desired result will be single, highly informative image providing full information. This paper focuses on
color constancy and color contrast problem.
Firstly the contrast of the infrared and visible image is enhanced using Local Histogram Equation. Then the two enhanced
images are fused in three compounds of a LAB image using aDWT image fusion. This paper adopts an approach which transfer color
from the reference image to the fused image using Color Transfer Technology. To enhance the contrast between the target and the
background, a scaling factor is introduced in the transferring equation in the b channel. Finally our approach gives the Multiband
Fused image with the natural day-time color appearance and the hot targets are popped out with intense colors while the background
details present with the natural color appearance.
An Inclusive Analysis on Various Image Enhancement TechniquesIJMER
Digital Image enhancement is the process of adjusting digital images so that the results are
more suitable for display or further image analysis. It provides a multitude of choices for improving the
visual quality of images or to provide a “better transform representation for future automated image
processing. The enhancement technique differs from one field to another field. The existing techniques
of image enhancement can be classified into two categories: Spatial Domain and Frequency domain
enhancement. Many images like satellite images, medical images, aerial images and even real life
photographs suffer from poor contrast and noise. It improves the quality (clarity) of images for human
viewing by eradicating blurs, noise, increasing contrast, and revealing image details.

Image enhancement is a method of improving the quality of an image and contrast is a major aspect. Traditional methods of contrast enhancement like histogram equalization results in over/under enhancement of the image especially a lower resolution one. This paper aims at developing a new Fuzzy Inference System to enhance the contrast of the low resolution images overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional methods. Results obtained using both the approaches are compared.
Image Enhancement by Image Fusion for Crime InvestigationCSCJournals
In the criminal investigation field, images are the principal forms for investigation and for probing crime detection. The imaging science applied in criminal investigation is face detection, surveillance camera imaging, and crime scene analysis. Digital imaging succors image manipulation, alteration and enhancement techniques. The traditional methodologies enhance the given image by improving the local or global components of the image. It proves a debacle since it engages noise amplification, block discontinuities, colour mismatch, edge distortion and checkerboard effects thereby limiting image processing tasks. To the same degree of enhancement, spurned artefacts are given rise. Thus to balance the global and local factors of the image and to weed out the tenebrous components; fusion of multiple alike images are performed to produce a meliorated image. The fusion is done by fusing a pyramid constructed image and a wavelet transformed image. The pyramid image and the wavelet transformed image are then fused through to afford a revealing image for better perception by the human visual system. The experimental results show that our proposed fusion scheme is effective and the fusion is applied over a surveillance camera image grab.
A Novel Approach For De-Noising CT Imagesidescitation
In this modern times and age, digital images play a
significant role in our day to-day life. Digital images are
utilized in a wide range of fields like medical, business and
more .Digital images play a vital part in the medical field in
which it has been utilized to analyze the anatomy. These
medical images are used in the identification of different
diseases. Regrettably, the medical images have noises due to
its different sources in which it has been produced.
Confiscating such noises from the medical images is extremely
crucial because these noises may degrade the quality of the
images and also baffle the identification of the
disease. Hence, de-noising of medical images is indispensable.
In this paper we demonstrate the implementations of de-
noising algorithm on CT images. The proposed technique has
4 processing stages. In the first stage the CT brain image is
acquired to MATLAB7.5. After acquisition the CT image is
given to preprocessing stage. Here the film artifacts are
removed. In the third stage, the high frequency components
and noise are removed from the CT image using median filter,
mean filter and Wiener filter
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image
quality measures

Contrast enhancement using various statistical operations and neighborhood pr...sipij
Histogram Equalization is a simple and effective contrast enhancement technique. In spite of its popularity
Histogram Equalization still have some limitations –produces artifacts, unnatural images and the local
details are not considered, therefore due to these limitations many other Equalization techniques have been
derived from it with some up gradation. In this proposed method statistics play an important role in image
processing, where statistical operations is applied to the image to get the desired result such as
manipulation of brightness and contrast. Thus, a novel algorithm using statistical operations and
neighborhood processing has been proposed in this paper where the algorithm has proven to be effective in
contrast enhancement based on the theory and experiment.
An Efficient Approach of Segmentation and Blind Deconvolution in Image Restor...iosrjce
This paper introduces the concept of Blind Deconvolution for restoration of a digital image and
small segments of a single image that has been degraded due to some noise. Concept of Image Restoration is
used in various areas like in Robotics to take decision, Biomedical research for analysis of tissues, cells and
cellular constituents etc. Segmentation is used to divide an image into multiple meaningful regions. Concept of
segmentation is helpful for restoration of only selected portion of the image hence reduces the complexity of the
system by focusing only on those parts of the image that need to be restored. There exist so many techniques for
the restoration of a degraded image like Wiener filter, Regularized filter, Lucy Richardson algorithm etc. All
these techniques use prior knowledge of blur kernel for restoration process. In Blind Deconvolution technique
Blur kernel initially remains unknown. This paper uses Gaussian low pass filter to convolve an image. Gaussian
low pass filter minimize the problem of ringing effect. Ringing effect occurs in image when transition between
one point to another is not clearly defined. After removing these ringing effects from the restored image,
resultant image will be clear in visibility. The aim of this paper is to provide better algorithm that can be helpful
in removing unwanted features from the image and the quality of the image can be measured in terms of
PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and MSE(Mean Square error). Proposed Technique also works well with
Motion Blur.
Modified Contrast Enhancement using Laplacian and Gaussians Fusion Techniqueiosrjce
The aim of image fusion is to mix images of a scene captured below totally different illumination. One
image contains most of information from the whole supply images automatically. Contrast enhancement is employed
to enhance the standard of visible image with none introducing unrealistic visual appearances. Fusion technique is
employed for the important applications like medical imaging, microscopic imaging, remote sensing, and laptop
vision and robotics. Contrast enhancement improves the brightness differences within the dark, gray or bright regions
at the expense of the brightness differences within the alternative regions. During this paper methodology of the
contrast enhancement for images that improves the local image contrast by controlling the local image gradient. The
proposed methodology improves the improvement drawback and maximizes the local contrast and global contrast of
an image.

Enhancement of Medical Images using Histogram Based Hybrid TechniqueINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Digital Image Processing is very important area of research. A number of techniques are available for image enhancement of gray scale images as well as color images. They work very efficiently for enhancement of the gray scale as well as color images. Important techniques namely Histogram Equalization, BBHE, RSWHE, RSWHE (recursion=2, gamma=No), AGCWD (Recursion=0, gamma=0) have been used quite frequently for image enhancement. But there are some shortcomings of the present techniques. The major shortcoming is that while enhancement, the brightness of the image deteriorates quite a lot. So there was need for some technique for image enhancement so that while enhancement was done, the brightness of the images does not go down. To remove this shortcoming, a new hybrid technique namely RESWHE+AGCWD (recursion=2, gamma=0 or 1) was proposed. The results of the proposed technique were compared with the existing techniques. In the present methodology, the brightness did not decrease during image enhancement. So the results and the technique was validated and accepted. The parameters via PSNR, MSE, AMBE etc. are taken for performance evaluation and validation of the proposed technique against the existing techniques which results in better outperform.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

I. INTRODUCTION
The aim of image enhancement is to improve the interpretability or perception of information in images
for human viewers, or to provide `better' input for other automated image processing techniques. Digital image
processing is used in various applications in medicines medicine, space exploration, authentication, automated
industry inspection and many more areas.
II. IMAGE ENHANCEMENT AND ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES OF
IMAGE PROCESSING
Image enhancement is actually the class of image processing operations whose goal is to produce an
output digital image that is visually more suitable as appearance for its visual examination by a human observer
The relevant features for the examination task are enhanced
The irrelevant features for the examination task are removed/reduced
• Specific to image enhancement:
- Input = digital image (grey scale or color)
- Output = digital image (grey scale or color)
2.1. Conversion of the RGB image into GRAYSCALE image:
In RGB images each pixel has a particular colour; that colour is described by the amount of red, green
and blue in it. If each of these components has a range 0–255, this gives a total of 256^3 different possible
colours. Such an image is a “stack” of three matrices; representing the red, green and blue values for each pixel.
This means that for every pixel there correspond 3 values. Whereas in greyscale each pixel is a shade of gray,
normally from 0 (black) to 255 (white). This range means that each pixel can be represented by eight bits, or
exactly one byte. Other greyscale ranges are used, but generally they are a power of 2.so, we can say gray image
takes less space in memory in comparison to RGB images
.
Original image (RGB image) Gray scale image
Abstract
Principle objective of Image enhancement is to process an image so that result is more suitable
than original image for specific application. Thermal image enhancement used in Quality Control
,Problem Diagnostics,Research and Development,Risk Management Programme,Digital infrared
thermal imaging in health care, Surveillance in security, law enforcement and defence. Various
enhancement schemes are used for enhancing an image which includes gray scale manipulation,
Histogram Equalization (HE), fast Fourier transform, Image fusion and denoising.Image enhancement
is the process of making images more useful. The reasons for doing this include, Highlighting
interesting detail in images, removing noise from images, making images more visually appealing, edge
enhancement and increase the contrast of the image.
Keywords: Adaptive filtering, Denoising, fast Fourier transform, histogram equalisation, Image
enhancement, Image fusion, linear filtering, morphology, opening and closing.

2.2 HISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM EQUALISATION AND CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT
The histogram of an image shows us the distribution of grey levels in the image massively useful in
image processing, especially in segmentation .The shape of the histogram of an image gives us useful
information about the possibility for contrast enhancement. A histogram of a narrow shape indicates little
dynamic range and thus corresponds to an image having low contrast.istogram equalization is used to enhance
the contrast of the image it spreads the intensity values over full range. Histogram equalization involves finding
a grey scale transformation function that creates an output image with a uniform histogramUnder Contrast
adjustment, overall lightness or darkness of the image is changed. Contrast enhancements improve the
perceptibility of objects in the scene by enhancing the brightness difference between objects and their
backgrounds A contrast stretch improves the brightness differences uniformly across the dynamic range of the
image,
2.3 Linear filtering and noise removal image
Filtering is a technique for modifying or enhancing an image. For example, you can filter an image to
emphasize certain features or remove other features. Image processing operations implemented with filtering
include smoothing, sharpening, and edge enhancement. Linear filtering is filtering in which the value of an
output pixel is a linear combination of the values of the pixels in the input pixel's neighbourhood. The noise is
removed by adaptive filtering approach, often produces better results than linear filtering. The adaptive filter is
more selective than a comparable linear filter, preserving edges and other high-frequency parts of an image
2.4 Morphology:
Morphological techniques typically probe an image with a small shape or template known as a
structuring element. The structuring element is positioned at all possible locations in the image and it is
compared with the corresponding neighborhood of pixels. Morphological operations differ in how they carry out
this comparison. Mathematical morphology is based on geometry. The theoretical foundations of morphological
image processing lies in set theory and the mathematical theory of order. The basic idea is to probe an image
with a template shape, which is called structuring element, to quantify the manner in which the structuring
element fits within a given image.

2.4. FFT transforms:
FFT function is an effective tool for computing the discrete Fourier transform of a signal. In Fourier
transform it actually changes the domain of the image. In this we get the restored image after taking the inverse
FFT. The FFT contains information between 0 and fs; however, we know that the sampling frequency must be
at least twice the highest frequency component. Therefore, the signal's spectrum should be entirely below fs/2,
the Nyquist frequency.

IV. VARIOUS TECHNIQUES OF WAVELET:
Wavelet analysis is capable of revealing aspects of data that other signal analysis techniques miss
aspects like trends, breakdown points, discontinuities in higher derivatives, and self-similarity. Furthermore,
because it affords a different view of data than those presented by traditional techniques, wavelet analysis can
often compress or de-noise a signal without appreciable degradation. There are so many techniques to enhance
an image that I have used in this to enhancement. There are two thermal images on that I have applied
enhancement methods:
4.1 IMAGE FUSION:
In general, the problem that image fusion tries to solve is to combine information from several images
(sensors) taken from the same scene in order to achieve a new fused image, which contains the best information
original images The wavelets-based approach is appropriate for performing fusion tasks for the following
reasons:
[1] It is a multiscale (multiresolution) approach well suited to manage the different image resolutions. In recent
[2] Years, some researchers have studied multiscale representation (pyramid decomposition) of a signal and
[3] Have established that multiscale information can be useful in a number of image processing applications
including the image fusion.
[4] The discrete wavelets transform (DWT) allows the image decomposition in different kinds of coefficients
preserving the image information.
[5] Such coefficients coming from different images can be appropriately combined to obtain new coefficients,
so that the information in the original images is collected appropriately.
[6] Once the coefficients are merged, the final fused image is achieved through the inverse discrete wavelets
transform (IDWT), where the information in the merged coefficients is also preserved.
[7] Hence, the fused image has better quality than any of the original images
4.2 DENOISING IMAGE:
The image usually has noise which is not easily eliminated in image processing. According to actual
image characteristic, noise statistical property and frequency spectrum distribution rule, people have developed
many methods of eliminating noises, which approximately are divided into space and transformation fields The
space field is data operation carried on the original image, and processes the image grey value, like
neighbourhood average method, wiener filter, centre value filter and so on. The transformation field is
management in the transformation field of images, and the coefficients after transformation are processed. Then
the aim of eliminating noise is achieved by inverse transformation, like wavelet transform. Successful
exploitation of wavelet transform might lessen the noise effect or even overcome it completely.
The general wavelet denoising procedure is as follows:
• Apply wavelet transform to the noisy signal to produce the noisy wavelet coefficients to the level which we
can properly distinguish the PD occurrence.
• Select appropriate threshold limit at each level and threshold method (hard or soft thresholding) to best
remove the noises.
• Inverse wavelet transforms of the threshold wavelet coefficients to obtain a denoised signal

4.3 COMPRESSED IMAGE:
Images require much storage space, large transmission bandwidth and long transmission time. The only
Way currently to improve on these resource requirements is to compress images, such that they can be
transmitted quicker and then decompressed by the receiver.In image processing there are 256 intensity levels
(scales) of grey. 0 is black and 255 are white. Each Level is represented by an 8-bit binary number so black is
00000000 and white is 11111111. An image Can therefore be thought of as grid of pixels, where each pixel can
be represented by the 8-bit binary Value for grey-scale."Image compression algorithms aim to remove
redundancy in data in a way which makes image reconstruction possible." This basically means that image
compression algorithms try to exploit redundancies in the data; they calculate which data needs to be kept in
order to reconstruct the original image and therefore which data can be ’thrown away’. By removing the
redundant data, the image can be represented in a smaller number of bits, and hence can be compressed
Two fundamental components of compression are redundancy and irrelevancy reduction.
Redundancy reduction aims at removing duplication from the signal source (image/video).
Irrelevancy reduction omits parts of the signal that will not be noticed by the signal receiver, namely the
Human Visual System (HVS).

VII. COMPARATIVE RESULTS
The result obtained from the wavelet techniques is better than the image processing techniques. The
image gets enhanced using wavelet techniques in comparison to image processing. The enhancement of an
image is easy through wavelet as in comparison to the image processing. The denoised image and compressed
image is also better and is easy to obtain result through wavelet by using graphical user interface.
VIII. CONCLUSION
This work highlights the successful application of wavelet based methods for analysis of thermal
images. Although in wavelet, global thresholding can be used successfully to compress images it is difficult to
find a global threshold that will give near optimal results because of how the different detail sub signals differ.
Global Thresholding leads to unnecessary energy losses in order to obtain a certain compression rate.

Therefore it is more logical to use local thresholds. The image processing work indicates that histogram
equalization technique can’t be used for images suffering from non-uniform illumination in their backgrounds
specifically for particle analysis purposes as this process only adds extra pixels to the light regions of the image
and removes extra pixels from dark regions of the image resulting in a high dynamic range in the output image.
