Abstract

Cervical cancer is a major cause of mortality among women worldwide, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. However, the interpretation of cervical whole slice images can be challenging due to poor image quality. This paper presents a study on the use of histogram techniques to enhance the quality of cervical whole slice images. The aim of the study is to improve the visibility of important structures in the image, such as blood vessels and cell nuclei, for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. The study used histogram equalization and stretching techniques to enhance the contrast and brightness of cervical whole slice images. Experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of these techniques in improving the image quality. The results show that the enhanced images are of higher quality and are easier to interpret than the original images. The histogram equalization technique improved the visibility of structures in the image by increasing the contrast, while the histogram stretching technique improved the brightness and color balance. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of histogram techniques in enhancing the quality of cervical whole slice images for better diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. The use of these techniques can greatly improve the visibility of important structures in the image and lead to more accurate diagnosis and treatment. These findings can have important implications for the development of more effective screening and diagnostic methods for cervical cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
