Abstract

Fusion energy can be obtained by combining deuterium and tritium in the nuclear fusion reactor. Measurement and analysis of the hot plasma obtained during fusion is essential for fusion energy studies. Image processing is one of the non-invasive methods used to measure the plasma parameters. In this work a novel image processing technique, Contrast Limited Brightness Preserving Dynamic Fuzzy Histogram Equalization (CLBPDFHE), is proposed to enhance the contrast of the plasma in order to measure the plasma parameters to work on plasma confinement for a long time. Performance metrics obtained from simulation results show that the contrast of plasma is improved in the CLBPDFHE technique compared to conventional Histogram Equalization (HE) techniques.
