Contrast – Linearize
This function scales a range of grey values of an image sequence to equal area fractions in the histogram.
Fig. 15
The
Linearize
tab sheet of the
Contrast
dialog window must be selected.
This function enhances the contrast by linearizing the histogram of the image sequence to equal area
fractions in the histogram. The areas (voxel count multiplied by grey value range) of all grey values in the
Output
histogram are the same. This function is used to achieve a better view of an image sequence.
When
Skip Black
is checked the grey value 0 will not be taken into account for linearization.
Input
indicates the sequence to enhance. If it is a multichannel sequence, a single channel, all channels,
or any number can be selected. The
Input
histogram shows the grey value distribution of the selected
channels of the
Input
image sequence.
Output
defines the range of the result sequence. It will get only these channels which are chosen by the
Input
parameter. The grey value (intensity) resolution will be the same as the one from
Input
.
The
Output
histogram shows the resulting histogram. The horizontal axis represents the grey values from
0 to 255. The vertical axis represents the pixel count. The vertical scale of the histogram is set using the
scroll bar. The units are percentages of the grey value distribution maximum. This setting has no influence
to the function.
