Optical Fiber Cables Networks Defects Detection Using Thermal Images Enhancement Techniques
Author:
Abstract: Image enhancement is a process to output an image which is more suitable and useful than original image for specific application. Thermal image enhancement includes many techniques used in Quality Control, Problem Diagnostics, and Insurance Risk Assessment. Various enhancement schemes are used for enhancing an image which includes gray scale manipulation, filtering and Histogram Equalization (HE), Fast Fourier Transform which results in Highlighting interesting detail in images, removing noise from images, making images more visually appealing, edge enhancement and increase the contrast of the image. This research article explains how could the various stated techniques and operations will be useful in the detection of the defects for the optical fiber cables and their connectors and most of optical devices to be more effective in Optical fiber based communication systems.
