Description: This report describes software for performing image enhancement on live or recorded      video images. The software was developed for operational use during underwater      recovery operations at the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering Station. The image      processing is performed on an IBM-PC/AT compatible computer equipped with      hardware to digitize and display video images. The software provides the capability to      provide contrast enhancement and other similar functions in real time through hardware      lookup tables, to automatically perform histogram equalization, to capture one or more      frames and average them or apply one of several different processing algorithms to a      captured frame. The report is in the form of a user manual for the software and includes      guided tutorial and reference sections. A Digital Image Processing Primer in the      appendix serves to explain the principle concepts that are used in the image processing.      (rrh)
