Abstract
A method of image enhancement, the method comprising: obtaining image data representing an image comprising a plurality of pixels, each having a pixel intensity value, the image further comprising a region of interest; analyzing image data associated with the region of interest and gathering relevant statistics thereon; analyzing image data associated with the image as a whole and gathering relevant statistics thereon; accumulating a histogram based on the intensity value of pixels in the image as a whole; defining histogram bins of interest that correspond to a range of pixel intensity values from within the region of interest; attenuating histogram bins outside of the bins of interest OR multiplying bins of interest by a scaling factor; using the attenuated or scaled histogram to create a cumulative distribution function; and using the cumulative distribution function to produce a contrast enhanced image.
