A New Method of Fundus Image Enhancement Based on Rough Set and Wavelet Transform

Abstract:

Fundus images are complex images with more details, and on the basis of the inadequate fuzzy enhancement algorithm proposed by Pal et al, this article propose an improved algorithm of rough set for fundus image enhancement. The fundus image will be multi-scale decomposed by wavelet transform firstly, and then the subgraphs are enhanced by using rough set to improve the visual effects; finally the processed sub-images will be reconstructed and generated a new-enhanced image. Compared with the Pal algorithm, the new algorithm not only overcomes its weaknesses that the threshold is set with a fixed value, but also reduces the number of iterations. Experimental results show that the improved enhancement algorithm has a better effect on the fundus image enhancement, and the various details of fundus images can be shown better.
