A variational approach to the radiometric enhancement of digital imagery
Abstract:
In this correspondence, we present a variational approach to the problem of finding suitable radiometric image transformations that optimize desirable characteristics of the output image histogram. This variational approach can be interpreted as the minimization of the cumulative spacing between histogram bars in the least squares sense subject to some weight function. Most of the common histogram transformation procedures used in remote sensing applications can be deduced from this general variational approach with an appropriate choice of the weight function.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
