  • Abstract
    An algorithm for both local contrast enhancement and background texture suppression in digital mammographic images is proposed. The algorithm is based on mathematical morphology applied to gray-scale image processing. Several examples demonstrate the efficiency of the new algorithm in enhancing the details, object extraction and detection of microcalcifications in digital mammograms.
