MUSICA[1] is a contrast enhancement approach based on multiresolution representation of the original image, commonly applied in computed radiography. This repo is a Python implementation of MUSICA algorithm using Laplacian Pyramid[2] as the multiresolution representation.

Note: Implementation works only for grayscale images.

• Required functions are in musica.py

$ git clone https://github.com/lafith/musica.git
$ cd MUSICA
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 demo.py

• In demo.py arbitrary values are taken for parameters, tuning may give better results.

• Sample image is taken from ieee8023/covid-chestxray-dataset test_result
