Abstract

Visual enhancement of image plays a very important role in the field of medical imaging. Enhanced medical images are more suitable for analysis and proper diagnosis. We present a novel method of enhancement of color medical images in this paper. We are transforming color space of the image from RGB to HIS followed by application of logarithmic and gamma transformation on saturation and intensity component respectively. Hence we obtain a visually enhanced version of the original image. We have obtained excellent color medical image enhancement results presented in this paper.
