GRAY LEVEL IMAGE PROCESSING USING CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT AND WATERSHED SEGMENTATION WITH QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION 1 1 2 Zhengmao Ye , Habib Mohamadian , Yongmao Ye 1College of Engineering, Southern University, Baton Rouge, USA zhengmaoye@; mohamad@ 2Liaoning TV Station, ShenYang, 110004, P. R. China yeyongmao@ ABSTRACT reasonable dynamic range. The adaptive algorithm can be used to adapt to image intensity distribution. Effective Both image enhancement and image segmentation are most image contrast enhancement for medical diagnosis can also practical approaches among virtually all automated image be achieved by including the basic human visual properties. recognition systems. Feature extraction and recognition By separating the smooth and detail areas of an image, have numerous applications on telecommunication, weather adaptive algorithms can examine them separately [9-10]. forecasting, environment exploration and medical diagnosis. Watershed segmentation is useful for image segmentation. The adaptive image contrast stretching is a typical image Its approach is to start from either low or high altitude up till enhancement approach and watershed segmentation is a high or low altitude. The watershed transformation can be typical image segmentation approach. Under c
