专利汇可以提供Real-time image contrast and edge sharpness enhancing apparatus专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Apparatus for enhancing contrast and edge sharpness of images visually displayed by a line scan imaging and display system wherein an electrical analog output signal of a line scan imaging system which may be degraded is processed in real time by enhancing circuitry producing corrective signals of adjustable magnitude for addition to the degraded signal to provide an enhanced brightness intensity modulating signal for a video display. The enhancing circuitry includes differentiating circuitry for obtaining the first and second derivatives of the degraded signal in turn applied to enhancer circuitry for causing the polarity of the first derivative to be always opposite to that of the second derivative so that the relative amplitudes of higher frequencies are emphasized. The polarity adjusted first derivative is added to the degraded signal to make the displayed image more crisp by reason of enhanced edge sharpness. A second polarity adjusted signal is developed by causing the polarity of the degraded signal to follow that of the first derivative. An integration of the second polarity adjusted signal wherein the relative amplitude of low frequencies are emphasized is added to the degraded signal to enable a visual display of greater contrast.,下面是Real-time image contrast and edge sharpness enhancing apparatus专利的具体信息内容。
