We present the nonsubsampled contourlet transform and its application in image enhancement. The nonsubsampled contourlet transform is built upon nonsubsampled pyramids and nonsubsampled directional filter banks and provides a shift-invariant directional multiresolution image representation. Existing methods for image enhancement cannot capture the geometric information of images and tend to amplify noises when they are applied to noisy images since they cannot distinguish noises from weak edges. In contrast, the nonsubsampled contourlet transform extracts the geometric information of images, which can be used to distinguish noises from weak edges. Experimental results show the proposed method achieves better enhancement results than a wavelet-based image enhancement method.
