Abstract: In order to extract accurately the image details, and improve the effect of image enhancement, an adaptive image enhancement algorithm with variable weighted matching based on morphological is proposed. With this method, extension omni-directional multi-scale structure element is constructed, which is used to decompose image of different scale details in different direction through top-hat translation. The proposed algorithm brokes the idea of that the detail weighted in each direction is taken average in traditional morphology method, and adjusts the weight of the different detail direction based on the dynamic characteristic analysis of the local gray level. In the image enhancement process, according to the structured feature of extracted details, the corresponding adaptive gain function is constructed to realize the image adaptive enhancement. The experimental results show that, the algorithm can highlight more effective image details than the traditional morphological method of image enhancement by using the autocorrelation of image, and can suppress the noise in some extent.
