Abstract

Medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain images, and others play a vital role in the automatic medical diagnosis process. It hastens the process of the diagnosis as well as improving the accuracy over the manual process. But medical images often seem to suffer from low contrast problems, and an accurate result can be expected only from a good quality image. Hard-based techniques are applied for contrast improvement as they involve less complexity, but they are not able to bring the result to a satisfactory ...
