  • Patent number: 7821579
    Abstract: An image enhancing system uses a perfect reconstructing filter to process image signals within a specified resolution and enhance the image signals. The image enhancing system includes an image-signal-obtaining unit, a first-signal-group processing unit, a high-pass/low-pass-image obtaining unit, a brightness-adjusting unit, a threshold unit, an amplifying unit, an adder and a normalizing unit. The image-signal-obtaining unit obtains nine image signals from three lines of image signals. The first-signal-group processing unit processes the nine image signals. The high-pass/low-pass-image obtaining unit obtains a high-frequency image signal and a low-frequency image signal. The brightness-adjusting unit adjusts the brightness of the low-frequency image signal. The threshold unit processes the noise of the high-frequency image signal. The amplifying unit amplifies the high-frequency image signal. The adder adds the high-frequency image signal and the low-frequency image signal.

  • Publication number: 20070003156
    Abstract: An image enhancing system uses a multi-resolution filter to analyze the image and process noise from the image and the details of the high frequency image. The image enhancing system uses a wavelet transform structure to decompose and process the image. The image enhancing system does not need to down sample and it directly changes the frequency of the processing unit. The low-frequency image is processed by a brightness adjusting process, such as a Gamma (?) transfer function, to enhance the details of the image. The high-frequency image is processed by a threshold unit to eliminate noise and reserve the original details of the image. Next, the image enhancing system uses an amplifying unit to amplify the image and reconstructs the image with full resolution.
