Abstract

We have developed and are applying two methods of image quality assessment with the aim of optimizing contrast enhancement parameter settings and evaluating competing methods. Our first approach uses observer studies employing psychophysical methods and a realistic clinical task; the second incorporates a model of human vision in a computer simulation of the performance of an observer.
