Claim One:
1. An image processing method for detail enhancement and noise reduction, the method comprising: creating an original image; calculating an information measure derived solely from the original image, in which the information measure is a spread measure, an edge detection measure or an entropy measure; calculating a weighting measure based on the information measure derived solely from the original image, wherein the weighting measure is greater than zero; low-pass filtering the original image with a low-pass filter to form a low-pass filtered image, wherein the low-pass filtered image is formed after the calculating the information measure has begun; calculating an uncompressed high-pass filtered image by subtracting the low-pass filtered image from the original image; scaling the uncompressed high-pass filtered image with the weighting measure; compressing the low-pass filtered image; and obtaining a detail-enhanced and noise-reduced image by adding the uncompressed high-pass filtered image scaled with the weighting measure to the compressed low-pass filtered image.
