COLOR IMAGE - ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
Abstract:
The color image-enhancement program consisted of research and development to determine the feasibility of applying color in enhancing the image of a photograph for information extraction. The program included the design and fabrication of equipment to test and evaluate electronic and optical concepts. However, this equipment should not be considered as operational equipment. Considerable discussion is devoted to the theory of image enhancement and why certain equipment was chosen to test and develop the program. The program will have a followup color evaluation program which will test and produce enhanceable photographs in the form of slides for color projection. Testing with human observers will also be programmed and a final analysis will be made.
