Detailed Documentation

This article provides an in-depth exploration of five distinct gradient enhancement methods for image sharpening. These techniques effectively highlight image details and improve overall clarity through calculated gradient operations. We demonstrate high-pass filtering combined with mask processing to enhance contours and edges using convolution kernels. To address noise issues in digital images, we implement Butterworth low-pass filters for smoothing operations, which can be coded using frequency domain filtering with adjustable cutoff frequencies and filter orders. Finally, we detail the application of Butterworth high-pass filters for sharpening processing, where the transfer function H(u,v) = 1 / [1 + (D0/D(u,v))^2n] is implemented to achieve more vivid and realistic images. Each method includes MATLAB/Python code snippets showing kernel definitions, Fourier transformations, and filter applications for practical implementation.
