Morphological contrast enhancement the morphological contrast enhancement filter operates on each pixel by considering only the pixels in a neighborhood defined by a structuring element. Unsharp masking may also be used with a large radius and a small amount such as 30100 pixel radius and 520% amount, which yields increased local contrast, a technique termed local contrast enhancement.
