In digital image processing, the homomorphic filtering approach is derived from an illumination-reflectance model of the image. It can also be used with an illumination-transillumnation model of X-ray film. Several X-ray images were applied to enhancement with histogram equalization and homomorphic filter based on an illumination-transillumination model. The homomorphic filter has proven theoretical claim of image density range compression and balanced contrast enhancement, and also was found a valuable tool to process analog X-ray images to digital images.
