The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport has developed a new technology called Digital Image Enhancement that allows small objects to be found in large complex areas, from underwater mines to microcalcifications in breast tissue. The technology uses wavelets and mathematical functions for multi-resolution analysis, feature enhancement, and noise reduction. This method is more robust than previous enhancement techniques and allows foreign objects to be more readily identified.
Advanced Image Enhancement, Inc. (AIE), which holds an exclusive license, recently completed a positive clinical study and has gained regulatory approval by the FDA to market the technology.
