Abstract
Image enhancement is one of the key concerns pertaining to better quality image photography captured through modern digital cameras. Probability of digital images getting compromised through lightning and weather conditions remains high. Due to these environmental limitations, many a time loss of information from images is reported. Major role of image amplification is to bring out hidden details of an image from the sample. It provides multiple options for enhancing the visual quality of images. This paper addresses problem of early skin cancer detection using image enhancement techniques and presents a multi-scale retinex with color restoration (MSR-CR) technique for skin cancer detection. The actual skin portion suffering from cancer is identified by comparing enhanced image with available ground truth image. Experimental result shows significant improvement over previously available techniques.
