Tone Mapping for X-Ray images
Inspecting X-ray images is an essential aspect for medical diagnosis and for nondestructive control of manufactured objects in the industrial field. However, X-ray images are characterized by a high dynamic range and a low contrast. Due to those characteristics, and the limitation of the human visual system, important aspects such as nodules, bones fractures, gas inclusions or other kind of defects and anomalies are difficult to identify for the human eyes.The challenge is therefore to reduce the image bit depth, while preserving subtle and fine-grained local variation in the image.
