A G-banded Chromosome Image Enhancement Algorithm Based on B-Spline Curves
摘要
To address the issue that the low contrast of human G-banded metaphase chromosome optical microscopic images hinders chromosome karyotype analysis, a chromosome band region enhancement algorithm based on B-spline curves is proposed. The method integrates a multi-level threshold segmentation algorithm, exhaustively searches for optimal control point parameters by maximizing joint similarity as the optimization objective, and constructs a grayscale mapping table using cubic clamped B-spline curves. Experimental results, with peak signal-to-noise ratio as the cross-validation index, demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves enhancement effects closer to the benchmark reference image compared to traditional gamma transformation and contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization.
