Popis: Acute leukemia is one of the critical disease that requires immediate treatment due to the rapid progression and accumulation of the cancerous cells. In recent years, image processing techniques had been explored to enhance the diagnosis of acute leukemia. However, microscopic image captured from the light microscope usually has poor quality due to the capability of the camera and improper operation by human operator. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technique has been explored to solve the problem by increasing the dynamic range of the images captured. This paper presents a HDR rendering technique by using contrast stretching technique to enhance the morphological features of blast cells. The technique called Partial contrast stretching had been used to render HDR image. The results showed that the proposed method had enhanced the overall contrast and morphological features of the blast cells in the acute leukemia slide images.
