Image processing: enhancement of x-ray film to detect breast cancer / Dzuzlindah Muhamad Alias

Many images were corrupted by interference during capturing, especially on x-ray film. To improve this images, the enhancement technique of digital image processing have been employed. The objective of enhancement technique is to process an image so that the result is more suitable than the original images for specific application. The method of image enhancement to be introducé in this project is Butterworth Highpass Filtering in Frequency Domain (BHPF). The image were then restored by histogram modification and histogram equalization technique. The algorithm and high language software such as Borland C++ 4.5 and Borland Visual Solution Pack were used to develope this techniques. The software has the ability to manipulate the images of common format like PCX , TIF and BMP
