Abstract

An image enhancing system uses a perfect reconstructing filter to process image signals within a specified resolution and enhance the image signals. The image enhancing system includes an image-signal-obtaining unit, a first-signal-group processing unit, a high-pass/low-pass-image obtaining unit, a brightness-adjusting unit, a threshold unit, an amplifying unit, an adder and a normalizing unit. The image-signal-obtaining unit obtains nine image signals from three lines of image signals. The first-signal-group processing unit processes the nine image signals. The high-pass/low-pass-image obtaining unit obtains a high-frequency image signal and a low-frequency image signal. The brightness-adjusting unit adjusts the brightness of the low-frequency image signal. The threshold unit processes the noise of the high-frequency image signal. The amplifying unit amplifies the high-frequency image signal. The adder adds the high-frequency image signal and the low-frequency image signal. The normalizing unit normalizes the result of the adder to obtain an enhanced image.
