A block diagram of the PACE method. The input Chest X-ray (CXR) is converted into an Enhanced CXR (ECXR) through different steps. (I) Fast and Adaptive Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (FABEMD) generates the bi-dimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs) and a bidimensional residual image (BR), (II) the Homomorphic Filtering (HMF) block filters the BR to correct brightness inhomogeneities. Finally, (III) Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is applied on the reconstructed image (BIMFs + filtered BR) to improve the overall contrast and generate the ECXR.
