Abstract

A modular real-time video image processor has been developed which is able to support medical fluoroscopic procedures. These procedures require human interpretation of video images in real-time. Two modules are described: a two-dimensional locally adaptive contrast enhancement unit, and a gaussian temporal averager. Other available modules are listed, but not discussed.
