Modern methods and algorithms in digital processing of endoscopic images

摘要

The paper is devoted to new methods and algorithms applied in various fields of digital image processing in endoscopy. The paper is separated on several parts dedicated to different groups of methods clustered by their function. The paper covers such topics of medical image processing as: contrast and brightness enhancement, color correction, highlights removing, image mosaic synthesis and the combination of images obtained in different spectral bands. For each described task of medical image processing the new algorithms or approaches are presented.
