This study introduces an effective method to enhance retinal fundus images, improving diagnostic accuracy. The technique corrects uneven illumination, sharpens details, and reduces noise in medical images.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Retinal fundus photography is crucial for diagnosing prevalent eye diseases.
  • Clinical fundus image quality is often compromised by factors like poor illumination and low contrast, hindering accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple and efficient method for enhancing retinal fundus images.
  • To improve the diagnostic utility of fundus images affected by common quality issues.

Main Methods:

  • Image decomposition into base, detail, and noise layers.
  • Application of a visual adaptation model for illumination correction on the base layer.
  • Weighted fusion for detail enhancement and simultaneous noise/artifact suppression.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method effectively corrects uneven illumination, enhances image details, and suppresses noise and artifacts.
  • Evaluated on public datasets (DIARETDB0, DIARETDB1) and challenging clinical images, outperforming existing methods.
  • Ophthalmologist assessments confirmed the method's contribution to diagnostic assistance.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method offers a robust solution for retinal fundus image enhancement.
  • It simultaneously addresses illumination, detail, and noise issues, improving image quality for disease diagnosis.
