Paper Abstract
This paper proposes a statistical model of enhancement field (SMEF) aiming to effectively capture the statistics of high-dimensional
enhancement fields which can then be leveraged to regularize the enhancement of portable chest radiograph
images captured in the intensive care unit (ICU). Wavelet-packet transformation (WPT) of enhancement fields coupled
with PCA in each wavelet band are used to more accurately estimate a prior pdf of high-dimensional enhancement fields
from limited number of training samples. As a result, more consistent enhancement results can be obtained. In
experiments, we first demonstrate the ability of SMEF to improve the visibility of CR ICU images and then demonstrate
the ability of SMEF to provide more consistent image enhancement solution, via comparing the localized image
enhancement algorithm, CLAHE, with its SMEF-constrained version. The proposed SMEF framework can potentially
incorporate various image enhancement algorithms to improve consistency and stability.
