Efficient Enhancement of Microarray Image Using Histogram Specification

Abstract

In this paper, we propose image enhancement of microarray images using histogram specification method. The proposed approach consists of system model that discuss about finding the type of noise present in the image and enhancing image by removing the noise present in the image. The proposed method is very efficient as it enhances image by revealing most of the microarray spots which is used for subsequent stages of microarray analysis. Performance analysis is done to measure the efficiency by which image is enhanced. The algorithm uses peak signal to noise ratio and mean squared error to quantify the degree of degradation.
