Abstract:
A method includes the steps of selecting an image filtering technique, receiving an image from an image source, processing the received image to provide a processed image, and displaying the processed image to a user. Processing the received image includes the steps of adjusting the received image to provide an adjusted image, filtering the adjusted image according to the selected image filtering technique to provide a filtered image, and adjusting the filtered image. The image filtering technique may be selected from histogram equalization, band-pass filtering, adaptive enhancement filtering, or other techniques. The method may be used in an image processing system having memory, a processor, and a display.
