Abstract:

It is known that many image enhancement methods have a tradeoff between noise suppression and edge enhancement. In this paper, we propose a new technique for image enhancement filtering and explain it in human visual perception theory. It combines kernel regression and local homogeneity and evaluates the restoration performance of smoothing method. First, image is filtered in kernel regression. Then image local homogeneity computation is introduced which offers adaptive selection about further smoothing. The overall effect of this algorithm is effective about noise reduction and edge enhancement. Experiment results show that this algorithm has better performance in image edge enhancement, contrast enhancement, and noise suppression.
