Fusion of Global and Adaptive Methods for Contrast Enhancement of Ultrasound Images

초음파 영상의 콘트라스트 향상을 위한 전역적, 적응적 방법의 융합

Contrast enhancement in the field of ultrasound imaging contributes to improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis by enhancing the visibility of ultrasound images. This paper proposes a contrast enhancement method that improves the contrast of ultrasound images both globally and locally by fusing global and adaptive contrast enhancement methods. Experimental results show that our approach yields more competitive results than the existing global and adaptive contrast enhancement methods in enhancing the visibility of ultrasound images.
