Abstract
The main aims of preprocessing and image enhancement are
-
to obtain visually informative images, as well as
-
to ease the subsequent signal processing and automated image evaluation steps.
The rather simple image enhancement techniques, which are covered in the following section, are mainly used for improving the visual impression of an image. Section 9.2 introduces methods which can reduce the influence of systematic perturbations caused by inhomogeneous illumination or by poor image acquisition, for example. Section 9.3 is devoted to the suppression of random noise by using linear and nonlinear filters and finally, Sec. 9.4 discusses the topic of image registration.
