Abstract

In this paper, several image enhancement methods for B-model US image, including Linear Transformation, Histogram Equalization, Brightness Preserving Bi-histogram Equalization (BBHE, Minimum Brightness Error Bi-Histogram Equalization (MMBEBHE), and Fuzzy Enhancement, were compared each other. Based on the subjective evaluations from human vision and feature extraction of the ROI after the enhancement, the advantages and disadvantages of each method were found out. Furthermore, the best enhancement algorithm, fuzzy enhancement algorithm was applied to our study and its impact on the feature extraction was compared with or without the fuzzy enhancement.
