Fig.1.3- In this image A) the original image, B) the choice for the unsharp filter mask ( = 10, =
0.4), C) the values where image is too smoothed ( = 15, = 0.2) and D) too much noise on the
image ( = 2, = 0.9).
When applying different values of Gaussian radius shown in Fig.1.1, it can be seen that it affects the
smoothing or unsharping of the image, also increasing the value increases the contrast, while the mask
weight as shown in Fig.1.2. determines the weight of filtering and increasing its value provides
additional edge enhancement.

Fig.2.6. Table made from the mean and standard deviation values corresponding to the original
image in Fig.2.1 and filtered images shown from Fig.2.2. to Fig.2.5.
As shown in Fig.2.2 through Fig.2.5 while increasing the size of the kernel the smoothing of the image
is increased. In the table of Fig.2.6. The values of the histogram in each case are shown, while increasing
the size the value of the standard deviation decreases. In this case the mean filter reduced more noise
than the Gaussian blur filter.
Method
As shown in eq.1 the values have been modified in the laplacian kernel with diagonal components (2)
in order to choose the best parameter for X for enhancing the image, if we relate (1) and (2) the A
1
value in imageJ is simplified and by this = 8 , so values bigger than 8 have been chosen, different
visualizations of changing the parameter in the kernel are shown from Fig. 3.2 to Fig.3.6. The unsharp
mask filter for comparing was applied in Fig.3.7.

Results
The following results were obtained using the convolve tool with the normalize kernel value checked,
this for preserving the image brightness, as shown in Fig.3.2. Beginning with a parameter X=8.5 didnt
result in a very good enhancement while a good enhancement was obtained using a parameter X=10.
In Fig 3.7. The unsharp mask filter was applied with a Gaussian radius of 10 and a mask weight of .4.
