  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING AN IMAGE
    Publication number: 20160027162
    Abstract: A method of processing an image having a plurality of picture-elements is disclosed. The method comprises: preprocessing the image to selectively enhance contrast of some picture-elements of the image, and employing a companding procedure for the preprocessed image, thereby providing a processed image. The contrast enhancement optionally and preferably features a mapping function having a plateau region for diminishing image data with intensity levels below an intensity threshold, thereby providing a preprocessed image.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 27, 2015
    Publication date: January 28, 2016
    Applicants: Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd., Tel HaShomer Medical Research Infrastructure and Services Ltd.
