METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING IMAGE QUALITY

摘要

The present disclosure relates to image filtering techniques for enhancing image quality. In one embodiment, two filtering techniques are applied on an image. Firstly, an adaptive weighted median filtering operation is performed on an acquired low contrast image corrupted by impulsive noise. Subsequently, a guided image filtering on the image obtained from adaptive weighted median filtering operation to de-blur and enhance the contrast that ultimately assures to preserve the edges of the images. In addition, the image filtering for enhancing image quality is enhanced by several variations of data adaptive guided image filtering and adaptive window sizes for guided image filtering techniques.
