Abstract
To have a good image contrast is an important issue in medical images. This paper introduces a feedback-type image processing architecture that can enhance image contrast without further digital image processing technique, e.g. histogram equalization. Compared with the conventional open-loop imaging system, the images derived by the proposed method has a full-range histogram without causing image distortion, and this is difficult to attain for open-loop imaging system.
