- Image contrast enhancement refers to an operation of remapping the pixels’ values of an image to emphasize desired information in the image. In this work, we propose a novel pixel-based (local) contrast enhancement algorithm, based on the human visual perception. First, we make an observation that pixels with lower regional contrast should be amplified for the purpose of enhancing the contrast and pixels with higher regional contrast should be suppressed to avoid undesired over-enhancement. To determine the quality of the regional contrast in the image (either lower or higher), a reference image will be created using a proposed global based contrast enhancement method (termed as Mean Brightness Bidirectional Histogram Equalization in the paper) for fast computation reason. To quantify the abovementioned regional contrast, we propose a method based on human visual perception taking Just Noticeable Difference (JND) into account. In short, our proposed algorithm is able to limit the enhancement of well-contrasted regions and enhance the poor contrast regions in an image. Both objective quality and subjective quality experimental results suggested that the proposed algorithm enhances images consistently across images with different dynamic range. We conclude that the proposed algorithm exhibits excellent consistency in producing satisfactory result for different type of images. It is important to note that the algorithm can be directly implemented in color space and not limited only to grayscale. The proposed algorithm can be obtained from the following GitHub link: https://github.com/UTARSL1/CHE.

- Computer-aided Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) grading classification systems based on deep learning have shown that deep learning may achieve reliable accuracy in IDC grade classification using histopathology images. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive performance comparisons of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) designs on IDC in the literature. As such, we would like to conduct a comparison analysis of the performance of seven selected CNN models: EfficientNetB0, EfficientNetV2B0, EfficientNetV2B0-21k, ResNetV1-50, ResNetV2-50, MobileNetV1, and MobileNetV2 with transfer learning. To implement each pre-trained CNN architecture, we deployed the corresponded feature vector available from the TensorFlowHub, integrating it with dropout and dense layers to form a complete CNN model. Our findings indicated that the EfficientNetV2B0-21k (0.72B Floating-Point Operations and 7.1 M parameters) outperformed other CNN models in the IDC grading task. Nevertheless, we discovered that practically all selected CNN models perform well in the IDC grading task, with an average balanced accuracy of 0.936 ± 0.0189 on the cross-validation set and 0.9308 ± 0.0211on the test set.
