This document presents a novel method for enhancing animal leather images using piecewise linear contrast stretching based on unsharp masking algorithms. The proposed method was tested on images of crocodile, monitor lizard, cow, and goat leather. It was compared to other piecewise linear transformation methods like intensity level slicing, bit plane slicing, and contrast stretching using metrics like PSNR, MSE, and SSIM. The proposed method produced higher PSNR values for the leather images tested compared to other methods. For example, PSNR values for crocodile, monitor lizard, cow, and goat leather images using the proposed piecewise linear contrast stretch unsharp masking method were 30.06 dB, 18.97 dB, 20.66 dB
MMFO: modified moth flame optimization algorithm for region based RGB color i...IJECEIAES
Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced, an improved algorithm modified moth flame optimization (MMFO) algorithm for RGB color image segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques. The simulation results of MMFO for region based color image segmentation are performed better as compared to PSO and GA, in terms of computation times for all the images. The experiment results of this method gives clear segments based on the different color and the different number of clusters is used during the segmentation process.

CBIR of Batik Images using Micro Structure Descriptor on Android IJECEIAES
Batik is part of a culture that has long developed and known by the people of Indonesia and the world. However, the knowledge is only on the name of batik, not at a more detailed level, such as image characteristic and batik motifs. Batik motif is very diverse, different areas have their own motifs and patterns related to local customs and values. Therefore, it is important to introduce knowledge about batik motifs and patterns effectively and efficiently. So, we build CBIR batik using Micro-Structure Descriptor (MSD) method on Android platform. The data used consisted of 300 images with 50 classes with each class consists of six images. Performance test is held in three scenarios, which the data is divided as test data and data train, with the ratio of scenario 1 is 50%: 50%, scenario 2 is 70%, 30%, and scenario 3 is 80%: 20%. The best results are generated by scenario 3 with precision valur 65.67% and recall value 65.80%, which indicates that the use of MSD on the android platform for CBIR batik performs well.

Image Compression based on DCT and BPSO for MRI and Standard ImagesIJERA Editor
Nowadays, digital image compression has become a crucial factor of modern telecommunication systems. Image compression is the process of reducing total bits required to represent an image by reducing redundancies while preserving the image quality as much as possible. Various applications including internet, multimedia, satellite imaging, medical imaging uses image compression in order to store and transmit images in an efficient manner. Selection of compression technique is an application-specific process. In this paper, an improved compression technique based on Butterfly-Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) is proposed. BPSO is an intelligence-based iterative algorithm utilized for finding optimal solution from a set of possible values. The dominant factors of BPSO over other optimization techniques are higher convergence rate, searching ability and overall performance. The proposed technique divides the input image into 88 blocks. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is applied to each block to obtain the coefficients. Then, the threshold values are obtained from BPSO. Based on this threshold, values of the coefficients are modified. Finally, quantization followed by the Huffman encoding is used to encode the image. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method over the existing method.

Hierarchical Approach for Total Variation Digital Image InpaintingIJCSEA Journal
The art of recovering an image from damage in an undetectable form is known as inpainting. The manual work of inpainting is most often a very time consum ing process. Due to digitalization of this technique, it is automatic and faster. In this paper, after the user selects the regions to be reconstructed, the algorithm automatically reconstruct the lost regions with the help of the information surrounding them. The existing methods perform very well when the region to be reconstructed is very small, but fails in proper reconstruction as the area increases. This paper describes a Hierarchical method by which the area to be inpainted is reduced in multiple levels and Total Variation(TV) method is used to inpaint in each level. This algorithm gives better performance when compared with other existing algorithms such as nearest neighbor interpolation, Inpainting through Blurring and Sobolev Inpainting.
IRJET- Histogram Specification: A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document reviews and compares several techniques for image enhancement, including histogram equalization (HE), brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization (BBHE), dualistic sub-image histogram equalization (DSIHE), and proposes a new technique called brightness preserving histogram equalization with maximum entropy (BPHEME).

The techniques are evaluated based on metrics like mean brightness, entropy, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and visual quality. Experimental results on a test image show that while other techniques change the mean brightness, BPHEME is able to preserve the original brightness level effectively.

homogeneity, energy and correlation and generate the feature vector. By using the K-NN Classification technique classify the test
image and extract the four statistical features and identify the type of expression of the test facial image. The present method got
better comparative results when it is tested on Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) Database.
Key Words: Facial Expression identification, Classification, k-NN classifier, Quantization, and GLCM
A Fuzzy Set Approach for Edge DetectionCSCJournals
Image segmentation is one of the most studied problems in image analysis, computer vision, pattern recognition etc. Edge detection is a discontinuity based approach used for image segmentation. In this paper, an edge detection using fuzzy set is proposed, where an image is considered as a fuzzy set and pixels are taken as elements of fuzzy set. The fuzzy approach converts the color image to a partially segmented image; finally an edge detector is convolved over the partially segmented image to obtain an edged image. The approach is implemented using MATLAB 7.11. (R2010b). For qualitative and quantitative comparison, BSD (Berkeley Segmentation Database) images are used for experimentation. Performance parameters used are PSNR (dB) and Performance ratio (PR) of true to false edges. It has been shown that the proposed approach performs better than Canny’s edge detection algorithm under almost all scenarios. The proposed approach reduces false edge detection and double edges.
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.

Hierarchical Approach for Total Variation Digital Image InpaintingIJCSEA Journal
The art of recovering an image from damage in an undetectable form is known as inpainting. The manual work of inpainting is most often a very time consum ing process. Due to digitalization of this technique, it is automatic and faster. In this paper, after the user selects the regions to be reconstructed, the algorithm automatically reconstruct the lost regions with the help of the information surrounding them. The existing methods perform very well when the region to be reconstructed is very small, but fails in proper reconstruction as the area increases. This paper describes a Hierarchical method by which the area to be inpainted is reduced in multiple levels and Total Variation(TV) method is used to inpaint in each level. This algorithm gives better performance when compared with other existing algorithms such as nearest neighbor interpolation, Inpainting through Blurring and Sobolev Inpainting.
IRJET- Histogram Specification: A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document reviews and compares several techniques for image enhancement, including histogram equalization (HE), brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization (BBHE), dualistic sub-image histogram equalization (DSIHE), and proposes a new technique called brightness preserving histogram equalization with maximum entropy (BPHEME). BPHEME aims to maximize the entropy of the transformed histogram while preserving the original mean brightness of the image. The techniques are evaluated based on metrics like mean brightness, entropy, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and visual quality. Experimental results on a test image show that while other techniques change the mean brightness, BPHEME is able to preserve the original brightness level effectively.

Identification had determined percentage of 100% for all the samples.
Facial expression identification using four bit co- occurrence matrixfeatures...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The present paper proposes a novel approach for facial expression identification based on the statistical features extracted from
the 4-bit co-occurrence matrix. In the present, first color image is converted into grey level image using 7-bit quantization
technique. To reduce the complexity of the Grey Level Co-occurrence matrix the present paper generates the co-occurrence
matrix on 4 bit grey image which is generated by quantization technique. From The 4-bit CM extract 4 features; contrast,
homogeneity, energy and correlation and generate the feature vector. By using the K-NN Classification technique classify the test
image and extract the four statistical features and identify the type of expression of the test facial image. The present method got
better comparative results when it is tested on Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) Database.
Key Words: Facial Expression identification, Classification, k-NN classifier, Quantization, and GLCM
A Fuzzy Set Approach for Edge DetectionCSCJournals
Image segmentation is one of the most studied problems in image analysis, computer vision, pattern recognition etc. Edge detection is a discontinuity based approach used for image segmentation. In this paper, an edge detection using fuzzy set is proposed, where an image is considered as a fuzzy set and pixels are taken as elements of fuzzy set. The fuzzy approach converts the color image to a partially segmented image; finally an edge detector is convolved over the partially segmented image to obtain an edged image. The approach is implemented using MATLAB 7.11. (R2010b). For qualitative and quantitative comparison, BSD (Berkeley Segmentation Database) images are used for experimentation. Performance parameters used are PSNR (dB) and Performance ratio (PR) of true to false edges. It has been shown that the proposed approach performs better than Canny’s edge detection algorithm under almost all scenarios. The proposed approach reduces false edge detection and double edges.
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.
Fraud and Tamper Detection in Authenticity Verification through Gradient Bas...IOSR Journals
This document proposes a novel methodology to detect tampering and forgery in images submitted for authenticity verification in security systems. The method reconstructs the test image from its gradients by solving a Poisson equation, forming a model. It then compares the original and reconstructed images using absolute difference and histogram matching to determine if tampering occurred. Experimental results demonstrate the technique can accurately verify authentic versus forged images, securing information and detecting fraud. The gradient-based reconstruction approach is a unique mechanism for digital image forensics and authenticity verification in security systems.

Medical Image Segmentation Based on Level Set MethodIOSR Journals
This document presents a new medical image segmentation technique based on the level set method. The technique uses a combination of thresholding, morphological erosion, and a variational level set method. Thresholding is applied to determine object pixels, followed by optional erosion to remove small fragments. Then a variational level set method is applied on the original image to evaluate the contour and segment objects. The technique is tested on various medical images and provides good segmentation results, though it struggles with complex images containing multiple distinct objects.
Image De-noising and Enhancement for Salt and Pepper Noise using Genetic Algo...IDES Editor
Image Enhancement through De-noising is one of
the most important applications of Digital Image Processing
and is still a challenging problem. Images are often received
in defective conditions due to usage of Poor image sensors,
poor data acquisition process and transmission errors etc.,
which creates problems for the subsequent process to
understand such images. The proposed Genetic filter is capable
of removing noise while preserving the fine details, as well as
structural image content. It can be divided into: (i) de-noising
filtering, and (ii) enhancement filtering. Image Denoising
and enhancement are essential part of any image processing
system, whether the processed information is utilized for visual
interpretation or for automatic analysis. The Experimental
results performed on a set of standard test images for a wide
range of noise corruption levels shows that the proposed filter
outperforms standard procedures for salt and pepper removal
both visually and in terms of performance measures such as
PSNR.Genetic algorithms will definitely helpful in solving
various complex image processing tasks in the future.
Region based elimination of noise pixels towards optimized classifier models ...IJERA Editor
The extraction of the skin pixels in a human image and rejection of non-skin pixels is called the skin segmentation. Skin pixel detection is the process of extracting the skin pixels in a human image which is typically used as a pre-processing step to extract the face regions from human image. In past, there are several computer vision approaches and techniques have been developed for skin pixel detection. In the process of skin detection, given pixels are been transformed into an appropriate color space such as RGB, HSV etc. And then skin classifier model have been applied to label the pixel into skin or non-skin regions. Here in this research a “Region based elimination of noise pixels and performance analysis of classifier models for skin pixel detection applied on human images” would be performed which involve the process of image representation in color models, elimination of non-skin pixels in the image, and then pre-processing and cleansing of the collected data, feature selection of the human image and then building the model for classifier. In this research and implementation of skin pixels classifier models are proposed with their comparative performance analysis. The definition of the feature vector is simply the selection of skin pixels from the human image or stack of human images. The performance is evaluated by comparing and analysing skin colour segmentation algorithms. During the course of research implementation, efforts are iterative which help in selection of optimized skin classifier based on the machine learning algorithms and their performance analysis.
Image enhancement in palmprint recognition: a novel approach for improved bio...IJECEIAES
Several researchers have used image enhancement methods to reduce detection errors and increase verification accuracy in palmprint identification. Divergent opinions exist among experts regarding the best method of image filtering to improve image palmprint recognition. Because of the unique characteristics of palmprints and the difficulties in preventing counterfeiting, image-filtering techniques are the subject of this current research. Researchers hope to create the best biometric system possible by utilizing various techniques. These techniques include image enhancement, Gabor orientation scales, dimension reduction techniques, and appropriate matching strategies. This study investigates how different filtering approaches might be combined to improve images. The palmprint identification system uses a 3W filter, which combines wavelet, Wiener, and weighted filters. Optimizing results entails coordinating the 3W filter with Gabor orientation scales, matching processes, and dimension reduction methods. The research shows that accuracy may be considerably increased using a 3W filter with a Gabor orientation scale of [8 × 7], the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) dimension reduction methodology, and a cosine matching method. Specifically, a value of 99.722% can be achieved. These results highlight the importance of selecting appropriate settings and techniques for palmprint recognition systems.

Results showing enhanced, denoised, and compressed images are presented and analyzed. The document concludes that wavelet techniques provide better enhancement of thermal images compared to traditional image processing methods.

Fingerprint image enhancement is the key process in IAFIS systems. In order to reduce false identification ratio and to supply good fingerprint images to IAFIS systems for exact identification, fingerprint images are generally enhanced. A filtering process tries to filter out the noise from the input image, and emphasize on low, high and directional spatial frequency components of an image. This paper presents an experimental summary of enhancing fingerprint images using Gabor filters. Frequency, width and window domain filter ranges are fixed. The orientation angle alone is modified by 0 radians, π/2, π/4 and 3π/4 radians. The experimental results show that Gabor filter enhances the fingerprint image in a better way than other filtering methods and extracts features.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

I. INTRODUCTION
Small and medium enterprises in Indonesia experiences
significant growth recently. One of them is leather craft
industry. A leather craft industry has spread in many places in
Indonesia, for example Sidoarjo, Cibaduyut, Yogyakarta,
Magetan and other places outside Java Island. Bantul (a district
in Yogyakarta Province) had a center of leather craft industry
namely Manding leather craft zone. Leather craft in Manding
produces various leather craft products such as gloves, belt,
sandals, shoes, bags and other leather goods. Most of those
products manufactured from cow leather, buffalo leather, goat
leather, sheep leather and stingray skin, which are processed in
home industry. Development of variations of types and designs
of leather artworks in Manding is not balanced with the
knowledge of their industry players. Leather industry
practitioners in that area do not have knowledge about the
standards of feasibility and scientific classification of processed
leather. Knowledge of types and quality of leather to be used as
leather craft raw materials is gained traditionally from
generation to generation. The understanding of leather quality
and authenticity and certain skin damage to craft products is
very minimal. One common problem in craft production
caused by this lack of knowledge is a certain craft product may
be made of inappropriate raw materials. When such problem
occurs, leather craft industry players incur loss because of
unsound leather craft product produced.
There are many criteria to consider when selecting leather
raw materials to create a certain leather craft. Therefore,
determining appropriate raw materials for a certain leather craft
requires sound knowledge on the materials. Initial step on this
subject is to perform image enhancement on digital animal
leather images prior to pattern recognition process on animal
leather images. This is based on the fact that at the time of
shooting animal leather images, the images cannot be used
directly but they must go through image processing (image
enhancement) first because the image obtained may have low
contrast, too dark or too bright.
Image enhancement is one of the classic problems in image
processing and pattern recognition. Image enhancement is
widely used for image processing and is used as a pre-
processing step in pattern recognition, classification, texture
synthesis and many other image processing applications [1],
[2], [3].Several image contrast enhancement algorithms are
proposed in previous studies including gray level manipulation,
filtering, histogram equalization (HE) and piecewise linear
transformation, including: intensity level slicing, bit plane
slicing, contrast stretching. Contrast is one of the important
qualities in evaluating quality of images in subjective manner.
Contrast is obtained from the difference in illumination
reflected by two adjacent surfaces. In other words, contrast is a
visual characteristic difference so that objects can be
distinguished from their backgrounds. In visual perception, a
contrast is determined through the difference in color and
brightness of the object with other objects. Several algorithms
for contrast enhancement have been developed and
implemented in image processing problems. The main purpose
of the image enhancement is to display the hidden detail in the
image or to increase the contrast of a low contrast image [4].
3. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different image
enhancement methods, especially piecewise linear transform
methods, and compare them with our proposed method. Our
proposed method is image enhancement method based on
unsharp masking algorithms to be applied in leather image
processing. The reason for using unsharp masking algorithms
in this study is because unsharp masking algorithm [5] which is
a halo effect analysis [6], and rescaling process requirements.
Moreover, the organization of this paper is as follows. In
part I, the background of this study is presented. In part II it
explains the image enhancement method which includes spatial
domain and frequency domain along with image enhancement
methods which are included. Part III is specifically explained
about piecewise linear transforms methods that include
intensity level slicing, bit plane slicing and contrast stretching
methods. In section IV, it is explained about the unsharp
masking algorithm framework and the proposed framework
which includes the use of adaptive contrast stretching on
contrast enhancement, low pass filter is replaced by bilateral
filtering, and the use of adaptive gain control. In part V is
explained about the use of Image Quality Measurement (IQM)
which includes the subjective measurement and objective
measurement. In Section VI presented the results of
experiments conducted, comparing the results of image
enhancement methods used in this study. Section VII presents
conclusions and suggestions that can be done for further
research.
II. IMAGE ENHANCEMENT METHODS
Image enhancement is a process to get an image becomes
easier to be interpreted by human visually. Image enhancement
can also be said to be a process for obtaining a better image for
a particular application than the original image. The methods of
image repair can be categorized into two parts, namely:
methods that work on spatial domains and methods that work
on the frequency domain.
In spatial domain - image enhancement method, the
transformation is directly applied to the pixels. This method
works on the whole pixel and can be written in (1).
( , ) = [ ( , )] (1)
where f (x, y) is the treated image, g (x, y) is the processed
image and T is the operator acting on f. Spatial methods may
also work on sub-images defined in a particular neighborhood
area. In its implementation, is a window or mask is often used.
The notion of a mask is a two-dimensional array with an
element value selected according to the feature to be detected
on an image. Some of the methods included in the spatial
domain are: Gray Level Transformation [7], Image negative
[8], Log transformation [9], Piecewise linear transformation
including contrast stretching [10], intensity level slice [11], bit
plane slice [12], Histogram Processing [13], Adaptive Power
Transformation[14].
In frequency domain image enhancement method, the
transformation is computed and then the enhancement method
is applied. This method is based on convolution theory.
Suppose g (x, y) is the image obtained from the convolution
image f (x, y) with the position-invariant operator h (x, y) i.e. g
(x, y) = h (x, y) * f (x, y) then from the theory of convolution
obtained (2).
( , ) = ( , ) ∗ ( , ) (2)
Where G, H, F is the Fourier transform of g, h, f. The
function H (u, v) is often referred to as a transfer function. The
purpose of this process is to select H (u, v) so that the desired
image, g (x, y) = F-1 [H (u, v) F (u, v)], shows the feature f (x,
y). Example: Edge in f (x, y) can be clarified by selecting the
function H (u, v) which accentuates the high frequency
component at f (x, y).
III. PIECEWISE LINEAR TRANSFORMS METHODS
In piecewise linear transform every pixel of the image will
be manipulated. This transformation technique aims to improve
quality of the image by changing the range of pixels intensity
values in the original image. A common advantage of this
technique is that changing complex functions can be solved
using the piecewise linear method. There are three types of
transformation: contrast stretching method, intensity level
slicing method, bit plane slicing method [4].
A. Contrast Stretching Method
Contrast stretching is applied to the image to stretch the
histogram to fill the full dynamic range of the image [4]. Two
popular types of contrast stretching techniques are basic
stretching contrast and end-in-search. Basic stretching contrast
works well on the image where all the pixels concentrate in
one part of the histogram, for example in the middle. Besides,
contrast stretching is used to overcome deficiencies or excess
light during shooting, extending the distribution of pixel-gray
values, where images are usually grouped in: low contrast,
fine contrast or normal contrast, and high contrast. The image
with low contrast is characterized by most of its bright or
mostly dark image composition. The histogram shows some
degree of grayness in groups together. If the pixel grouping is
on the left, then the image tends to be dark and vice versa. The
image with low quality can be improved quality with contrast
stretching operation. The contrast stretching algorithm is as
follows:
1. Find the lower bound of pixel grouping by scanning the
histogram of the smallest gray scale to the largest gray
scale value (0 to 255) to create the first pixel that exceeds
the predefined threshold value.
2. Find the upper border of pixel grouping by scanning the
histogram of the largest gray scale value to the smallest
value of the predefined second threshold value.
3. The pixels below the first threshold value are given a value
of 0, while the pixels above the second threshold value are
255.
4. The pixels between the first threshold value and the second
scaled threshold value to satisfy the complete range of gray
scale values (0 to 255) with the mathematical in (3).
= 255 (3)
4. where r is the gray scale value of the original image, s is the
new gray scale value, the lowest gray scale value of the
pixel group, the highest gray scale of the pixel group.
B. Intensity Level Slicing Method
Intensity level slicing method often highlights a certain
range of desired gray level imagery. The application includes
improving certain features such as water masses in satellite
imagery and flaws in X-ray imagery. There are two basic
methods for level slicing. One is to display a high value on all
gray levels there is a desired range and a low value for all other
gray levels. Another approach is based on transformation, such
as brightening the desired gray level range but still maintaining
background and gray level tonalities in image [4].
C. Bit Plane Slicing Method
The low contrast image is strengthened using the image
enhancement method. Often the image enhancement method
brightens all pixels of input image. This weakness is usually
overcome by using bit plane slicing. In bit-plane slicing,
image is divided into eight parts of binary field [4]. Bits that
are in bit plane 0 are categorized as least significant bits and
the bits in plane 7 bit are categorized as the most significant
bits.The intensity value of each pixel can be represented by an
8-bit binary vector ( , , , , , , , ), where
i is a value of 0 to 7 and each can have a value of '0' or '1'.
The equation of the bit plane can be written as (4).
( , ) = , ( , ) (4)
where I (i, j) is the original image, Ibit (i, j) is the bit plane
information, R is remainder, Floor (i) is the round of elements
to the nearest integer less than equal to i.
IV. PROPOSED METHOD
In this research we proposed method piecewise Linear
Contrast Stretch Based on Unsharp Masking (PLCSUM)
Method for leather image enhancement. Unsharp masking
(UM) is an image manipulation technique. The unsharp
masking technique can well improve detail appearance
through small scale enhancements of edge contrast of an
image. In general, unsharp mask is used to sharpen an image
where this will help us to affirm image texture and image
details. The classical unsharp masking algorithm can be
written as (5).
= + ( − ) (5)
Where m is the input image, n is result of the process using a
linear low-pass filter, whereas γ is the gain with (γ> 0) which
is real scaling factor. Signal d = m-n often amplifies (γ> 1) to
increase sharpness. The signals consist of image details, noise,
over-shoot and under-shoots in an area of sharp edge caused
by smoothing edges.
When enhancement of a noise is not possible to perform,
enhancements of over-shoot and under-shoots are obtained
through a visually unpleasant halo effect. Here we need a filter
that is not sensitive to noise and not smooth sharp edge.
Previous research works had used several known filters,
including cubic filters and edge preserving filters to replace
linear low-pass filters. However, both techniques possess
some constraints. Cubic filter is not sensitive to noise, while
edge preserving filter is not smooth sharp edge. Thus in this
work, we proposed adaptive gain control. Fig. 1 shows block
diagram of the classic unsharp masking algorithm which is
used as the basis of unsharp masking algorithm proposed in
this study. This paper will introduce an unsharp masking
framework for leather image enhancement. This framework
introduces a generalization of the unsharp masking algorithm
combined with the operations of contrast stretching methods.

This paper will introduce an unsharp masking framework
for leather image enhancement. This framework is based on a
generalization of the unsharp masking algorithm combined
with the operations of adaptive contrast stretching on halo
effect issues solved using an edge preserve filter. In this paper
the edge preserve filter used bilinear filtering to generate the
signal [15]. Bilinear filtering is selected due to its simplicity
when compared to the median filter [16]. In this study the
concept of enhancement and sharpening uses a different
process that is using adaptive contrast stretching algorithm
[17] and the output is called w (y). Image details are processed
using g (d) = γ (d) ⨂d, where d is an adaptive gain control and
is a function of the amplitude of the detail signal of d. While
the final result of the algorithm is written in (6).

unsharp masking algorithm is shown in Fig. 2.

5. V. IMAGE QUALITY MEASUREMENT
There are two approaches to perform image quality
measurement, namely: objective measurement and subjective
measurement objective measurement and subjective
measurement [18].
A. Objective Quality Measurements
Quality measures objectively use two measures: Peak
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). PSNR is an evaluation standard
of reconstructed image quality. The small PSNR value of the
image means that the image has a low quality. PSNR is
evaluated in decibels. PSNR is defined as (7).
PSNR = 10log
( )
√
(7)
Mean Squared Error (MSE)is defined as (8).
MSE = ∑ ∑ (x(i, j) − y(i, j)) (8)
where x (i, j) represents the original image (reference) and y (i,
j) represents the distorted image and i and j represents the
pixel position of the image M x N. The MSE will be zero when
x (i, j) = y (i, j).
B. Subjective Quality Measurements
One type of subjective quality measurement is to use SSIM
(Structural Similarity Index Metric) defined as (9).
SIM =
( )( σ )
σ σ (( ) ( ) )
(9)
where C1 and C2 are constants, ̅, , , and and
are given as (10), (11), (12), (13), (14) respectively.

6. B. Performance Comparison Image Enhancement
In this study we compared intensity level slicing (ILS)
methods, contrast stretching (CS), bit plane slicing methods
(BPS) [4] and the proposed methods namely Piecewise Linear
Contrast Stretch Based on Unsharp Masking (PLCSUM). The
results obtained by using the four image enhancement
methods are shown in Fig. 3.While the image quality
measurement used PSNR, MSE and SSIM
In this research, image quality measurement is done
through subjective and objective measurement. Objective
evaluations used are mean squared error (MSE) and peak-
signal-to-noise, as written in (7), (8). The subjective
evaluations used are the SSIM (Structural Similarity Index
Metric) as defined in (9). Four image enhancement methods
applied to four types of animal skins are the crocodile skin of
the back (image01), lizard skin (image02), cow skin
(image03) and goat skin (image04). The application results of
these methods are shown in Table I. PLCS is piecewise linear
contrast stretching, ILSM is intensity linear slicing method,
BPSM is bit plane slicing method and PLCSUS is piecewise
linear contrast stretch unsharp masking.

In Table I, PNSR, MSE and SSIM values for different
leather images is calculated. From Table III , we can see that
the highest PSNR value is achieved when using the PLCSUS
method for image processing i.e. 30.06 dB for image01, 18.97
dB for image02, 20.66 dB for image03, 14.73 dB for image04.
From this it can be concluded that method PLCSUS is better
than the other method in leather image enhancement.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, a new technique for leather image
enhancement has been proposed. The new technique uses
piecewise linear contrast stretch based on unsharp masking
algorithm. Experiments had been done on four animal leather
images, namely crocodile leather image, lizard leather image,
cow leather image and goat leather image. The PSNR, MSE
and SSIM values obtained by using our proposed method show
the best results compared to the other three image enhancement
methods. The values of PSNR for piecewise linear contrast
stretch unsharp masking respectively for crocodile leather,
monitor lizard leather, cow leather and goat leather are 30.06
dB, 18.97 dB, 20.66 dB and 14.73 dB. The higher the value of
PSNR means that the image enhancement result produces
better image quality compared to the original image. From this
it can be concluded that method PLCSUS is better than the
other method in leather image enhancement.
