Description
Summary:A basic concept is shown of color image processing such as color emphasis, contrast enhancement, and resolution improvement without destroying the color balance. An application to bronchus images taken through a fiber endoscope is also presented. The main purpose of this application is to make it easier to detect cancers on the bronchus surface by, for example, emphasizing small blood vessels.
