Abstract
Computer-assisted analysis of mammogram may provide clues for diagnosis of early tumors. Compared to ordinary images, mammograms feature vagueness and inhomogeneity. Hence, it´s of great importance to enhance the contrast of mammograms. This paper introduced traditional algorithms of image enhancement, and presented the region-based and feature-based algorithms for mammograms. In addition, three quantitative evaluations of contrast enhancement proposed by Bovis and Singh at University of Exeter in UK are introduced.
