description The visual quality of endoscopic images is a significant factor in early lesion inspection and surgical procedures. However, due to the interference of light sources, hardware, and other configurations, the endoscopic images collected clinically have uneven illumination, blurred details, and contrast. This paper proposed a new endoscopic image enhancement algorithm. The image decomposes into a detail layer and a base layer based on noise suppression. The blood vessel information is stretched by channel in the detail layer, and adaptive brightness correction is performed in the base layer. Finally, Fusion obtained a new endoscopic image. This paper compares the algorithm with six other algorithms in the laboratory dataset. The algorithm is in the leading position in all five objective evaluation metrics, further indicating that the algorithm is ahead of other algorithms in contrast, structural similarity, and peak signal-to-noise ratio. It can effectively highlight the blood vessel information in endoscopic images while avoiding the influence of noise and highlight points. The proposed algorithm can well solve the existing problems of endoscopic images.
