Abstract
The invention provides methods of enhancing tissue sample images by filtering luminance values from an input image and transforming the filtered values to produce an enhanced image for use in diagnostic applications. Preferred methods of the invention provide image enhancement by filtering luminance values of an image that correspond to sample regions that are obstructed or are otherwise not of diagnostic interest, and applying a mathematical transformation based on luminance values from regions that are not filtered out. In this way, image correction is substantially based on portions of the image that are of diagnostic relevance.
