Local histogram equalisation using a 5x5 region.
function call:
[out_img1]=vsg('LocalEq5x5',in_img1);
Arguments:
in_img1
input image, 3 channel RGB, 1 channel greyscale or binary image, or
DICOM image.
Description:
This function relies upon the application of histogram equalisation
within a small (5×5) local area or window (5×5). This number of pixels
in a small window (5×5) that are darker than the central pixel are
counted. The number defines the intensity at the equivalent point in the
output image.
out_img1 – An image which
has dimensions the same as the input image. The output image displays
local equalisation of the input image.
Example:
img = openimage('lake.jpg');
h=figure;image(uint8(img)); set(h,'Name','Input');
[out_img1]=vsg('LocalEq5x5',img);
h=figure;image(uint8(out_img1));set(h,'Name','LocalEq5x5');
Notes:
1. For DICOM images, the function operates on all slices separately.
2. For RGB images, the function operates on all colour planes
separately.
